Book excerpt: Elbridge Amos Stuart knew almost nothing about the evaporated-milk business when Thomas E. Yerxa persuaded him to join in the purchase of a bankrupt condensery in Kent, Washington in 1899. Having grown up on a farm in Indiana, however, Stuart was acquainted with dairying, and as the former proprietor of a general store in El Paso, Texas and later a wholesale grocery in Los Angeles, he recognized the value of sanitary milk at a time when fresh milk was neither universally available nor always potable.
