Artifact Overview

In 1899, Elbridge Amos Stuart developed his evaporated milk product -- his alternative to fresh milk, which was quick to sour -- and sold it as the Carnation Evaporated Milk Company. Although similar to condensed milk, evaporated milk does not contain sugar. This allows for a broader range of uses -- as noted in this booklet, which offers fun and simple recipes for teenagers using Carnation evaporated milk.
