James R. Reid (Jim) and Madelyn K. (Summers) Reid, bought Marion-Kay Spices in 1986 from Minnette Summers. Madelyn was the daughter of the founder, M. K. Summers. Jim and Madelyn moved their family from Illinois in 1954 to Brownstown, and Jim was the General Manager of Marion Kay.
Jim had a flair for creating new blends of spices and was MK’s Master Blender, custom blending for many restaurants. As owners, Jim and Madelyn introduced a new line of spices, the J.R. Mad’s line.
He passed his talent onto his family of six children… three of which run Marion Kay Spices today, Pamela K. (Reid) Warren, M. Kordell Reid and Kathy A Meador (Reid).
