The company traces its roots to 1911, when Columbia Grain and Provision Company was incorporated, and evolved into Adluh Milling Company in 1914. Founded by B.R. Cooner and Jesse H. Hardin, the mill was established to serve SC farmers by processing grain locally, avoiding the need to ship it out of state. The original facility, located behind the Thomas and Howard wholesale grocery at 804 Gervais Street, was a substantial 198 feet long and 94 feet wide, with a three-story section and a capacity to produce 1,200 bushels of meal and 60 tons of animal feed monthly. The mill has remained in operation at the same address for over a century, preserving a legacy of family-owned, locally focused milling.
