| Biography/History: | Sperry Flour Company was founded in 1852 in Stockton, California. It moved into the Northwest in 1920 with the acquisition of mills owned by Portland Flouring Mills. Sperry was acquired in 1929 by General Mills, Inc. Sperry first appeared in the Spokane City Directory in 1918. Between 1945/46 and 1952/53, it was listed as a division of General Mills, Inc. General Mills operated the Spokane plant until 1965. In 1970 it was sold to VWR United and converted to a starch-gluten plant. Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) acquired the plant in 1981. The plant was located in the 1200 block of East Sprague. |
