A savings account was opened for every employee. Those employed for 3 years or more received 20 shillings, everyone else 10 shillings.

Cadbury produced its first milk chocolate but it was coarse and dry - no comparison to the Swiss chocolate made by Daniel Peter, which used condensed milk. George Cadbury went to Switzerland to learn about this and then installed a milk condensing plant at Bournville. The new chocolate bar was an improvement but still no rival to the Swiss chocolate. Work continued on milk chocolate.
