Garber ran the mill using one set of buhrstones, later switching to three stands of rollers, until 1918, when he sold the mill to Hoffman & McClure.

Robert McClure bought Hoffman's share of the mill in 1920, ran the mill another 15 years, and finally sold it to mill operators Herbert P. Dyson & Edgar, his son. The Dysons owned mills in Loysville, Blain, Newville, and Boiling Springs.
