	Domingo Ghirardelli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1837, Ghirardelli moved to Uruguay, then moved again in 1838, this time to Lima, Peru, and established a confectionery, and began using the Spanish equivalent of his Italian name, Domingo.
		Around the year 1865, Ghirardelli discovered that by hanging a bag of ground cacao beans in a warm room, the cocoa butter would drip off, leaving behind a residue that can then be converted into ground chocolate.
		Domingo Ghirardelli died in 1894 while on a trip to his birthplace in Italy.

		Domingo was out there in the hills and streams doing his best to find his riches, but like a few of the smarter miners he soon found it was much more profitable to sell supplies to other miners.
		Domingo's first store front was just a tent, but by the end of 1849 he owned a fleet of river sloops, and buildings in both Stockton and San Francisco.
		Ghirardelli later purchased an entire block of property on North Point Street in San Francisco, and he and his sons spent the next 11 years transforming the property in to what is now Ghirardelli Square.

	A Chocolate Cannery Row - Cultural Context
		With many of the women standing "in slop and slush all day, their feet soaking wet," the long hours (as many as fourteen per day) were even harder to bear.
		As the company's own website has noted, in fact, "Ghirardelli was one of the first American manufacturers to fully understand and use the power of advertising and promotion," including appealing images of the Ghirardelli logo and of consumers enjoying the famous chocolate (Celebrating 150 Years, online at Ghirardelli chocolate website).
		Even assuming that this photograph of Ghirardelli factory employees at work could have been posed, contrasts between this canning scene and the factory setting described by the Life and Labor report suggest that the family's expectations for employee labor were, like its sophisticated use of advertising, well ahead of its time.
