Over the next few…uh…months, I’ll be posting some of the photos I’ve been taking for the Geek the Library campaign here in Chelsea. First up: Howdy Holmes, the man in charge of Chelsea Milling Company, the manufacturer of the famous Jiffy Mix baking mixes.
FUN FACT: both the muffin and the facial expression were Howdy’s idea. Those of you who know Howdy likely aren’t surprised by that.
I wish my name was Howdy.
I was browsing through your Geek photos because they’re just cool, and then I see this. Oh my goodness!!! I love Jiffy mix cornbread. I did not know it was made in Michigan. I guess we’ll have to keep you guys in the Union after all. 😉
Yes indeed! Not only is it made in Michigan, but its one and only factory is right here in Chelsea. It’s a great company. If you ever happen to be in the Michigan area, stop by for a factory tour.
