Chelsea Milling Company of Chelsea, MI has been a family owned business since it was established as a traditional flour mill in 1901 by Harmon S. Holmes. At the start of the Great Depression, Harmon’s daughter in law, Mabel White Holmes considered how she and her family’s local milling business might help those whose livelihood had been affected. When a friend of her twin sons Howard and Dudley visited their home, Mabel noticed the biscuits in the boy’s lunch were flat and unappetizing. She set out to find a way to create a pre-made mix which would assist the boy’s single father in the kitchen. In 1930, with the support of her husband Howard Samuel Holmes, Mabel’s home-grown project became the first prepared baking mix sold to the public. The convenient, simple to use mix only required the addition of milk to produce perfect biscuits every time. By keeping their “JIFFY” brand making mixes affordable, the Holmes’ new venture was able to help many families who were recovering from the effects of the Great Depression.
