The Mount Joy Steam Mill was build in Mount Joy borough in 1854 by gabriel Bear. in 1870, Bear sold the mill to John M. Brant. When A. K. Manning joined Brandt as a business partner in 1881, they added rollers and searators for a more modern way to make flour. The company was renamed Mount Joy Roller Mill. More rollers were added in 1883 and 1886. Manning retired in 1891 and Brant & Sons continued production until they were joined by Isaiah D. Stehman in 1905. New equipment was added in 1912. By 1920, Stehman was the sole owner. he partnered with a party named Newhauser in 1937, but was again the sole owner by 1946 until his death in 1950.
