Finally a section on:

HOW TO COOK WITH HERSHEY'S BREAKFAST COCOA, BAKING CHOCOLATE, SYRUP, BITTER-SWEET, AND OTHER PRODUCTS.
Is it necessary to cut up or grate HERSHEY'S BAKING CHOCOLATE before melting? No, Hershey's chocolate melts easily and quickly.  Just drop blocks in pan, without cutting or grating, and let them melt.  to melt chocolate in milk, or milk mixtures such as fudge, heat milk slighty, then drop in chocolate blocks, and stir occasionally to make sure chocolate does not drop to bottom of pan and stick.  When melted, give the mixture two or three beats with a rotary beater to blend.  (A rubber scraper will help to remove chocolate from pan, and also make dishwashing easier.)

Is it really necessary to "bother to melt chocolate in a pan over hot water"?
  Want the answer, buy the book!
Why does a heavy brown "skin" sometimes from on the top of hot cocoa or hot chocolate? The milk, not chocolate or cocoa, is responsible for the "skin."  A coating forms when milk alone is heated, but it is even more noticeable here because some of the chocolate mixes with the milk.   To prevent it, use low even heat during cooking, and do not boil at the end of cooking period.  Also, it will help to beat or whip the beverage after cooking.  Then, if the beverage is to be held for some time, keep it over hot water, and cover it.

How can one prevent cocoa mixtures from lumping?
 
Buy the book and find the answer.

How can curdling, which occurs occasionally when melted chocolate or cocoa combinations are added to mixtures such as custard, ice creams, etc., be avoided?
 
Buy the book and find the answer!

Can cocoa be used in place of chocolate in recipes?
Do any special rules need to be followed in cooking with Hershey's Bitter-Sweet Chocolate, Plain Milk Chocolate, and almond Bars?
Is Hershey's Bitter-Sweet Chocolate is especially adaptable for some of the new type of recipes?
What are the uses for Hershey's Syrup?
