On This Date in Minnesota History: April 8

April 8, 1883 - Frank Mars was born in on this date in Hancock, Minn. He learned how to hand-dip chocolate candy as a child from his mother Alva, who hoped to entertain him as he had a mild case of polio. In 1920, he moved to Minneapolis, where Mars founded Mar-O-Bar Co. and began to manufacture chocolate candy bars. The company later incorporated as Mars, Incorporated.
