Dutch Mill Candy Company was established in 1927 at 2222 Diversey Parkway in Chicago. Barnet L. Stein was the company's President. Dutch Mill opened its 50th Chicago-area shop in 1946, selling candy, ice cream, and lunch.
Dutch Mill had an appealing "Old-world" aura and specialized in Dutch-processed chocolate (chocolate treated with an alkalizing agent), which was said to yield a richer, creamier taste. Slogan: "The Finest Candy This Side of Heaven."
