01
Artifact Overview
George Urban, Sr., established a flour mill in Buffalo, New York, in the mid-1800s. The family-owned business expanded during the next 125 years, providing products, like Up-an-Up self-rising cake flour, for New England and Mid-Atlantic states. In the 1960s, the company was sold, and during the next twenty years, purchased by larger food conglomerates. The mill closed in 1984.
