The Lotus Flour Company

The Amendt Milling Company operated as a local grain-processing enterprise serving the farming communities of western Jackson County, Michigan. Established in the late nineteenth century, the mill handled wheat, corn and other regional crops, producing flour and feed for nearby towns and rural customers. Like many small Midwestern mills, Amendt's success depended on proximity to rail shipping and the surrounding agricultural economy, which supplied steady grain volumes through the early twentieth century. - AsNotedIn
