Chelsea Milling Company
 PROFILE
From biscuits to pizza dough, Chelsea Milling Company (CMC) can get you out of the kitchen in a "Jiffy." The company makes Jiffy-brand mixes for biscuits, brownies, cakes, cornbread, frosting, muffins, pancakes, and pizza and pie crusts. It produces more than 1.4 million retro-looking boxes of mix each day. Because CMC does not advertise, the company is able to keep prices below 50 cents per most single-batch boxes. Involved in the milling business since 1802, the Holmes family purchased the Chelsea mill in 1887. Mabel White Holmes created the first Jiffy mix in 1930, claiming, "The mix is so simple, even a man can do it." CMC is headed by Mabel's grandson Howdy Holmes, a former Indy race-car driver.
