- Recipe Booklet, "Carnation Company, It Whips! Irradiated Carnation Milk," circa 1935 - In 1899, Elbridge Amos Stuart developed his evaporated milk product -- his alternative to fresh milk, which was quick to sour. He prided himself on producing the highest quality of milk, under the name Carnation Evaporated Milk Company. Although similar to condensed milk, evaporated milk does not contain sugar, allowing for a broader range of uses. This booklet provides uses for Carnation milk in desserts.

- Milk Maid Milk Carton - The quest for a shatter-proof milk container prompted John Van Wormer to patent a paper carton in 1915. Many processors and distributors continued to use breakable glass bottles, but, after 1937, mechanized production made the disposable, wax-coated folded cartons inexpensive and indispensable liquid containers. The iconic design, a box with a gable-end top that, when opened, creates a pouring spout, remains the industry standard today.
