Pet Milk headquarters used to be located in St. Louis. The pamphlet isn't dated, however, this is an authentic recipe.

FUDGE

Butter a pan measuring 8 inches square.

Mix in a heavy 3-quart sauce pan:

2/3 cup cocoa
3 cups sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt

Add gradually to dry ingredients, mixing well, a mixture of:

1 cup Pet Evaporated Milk
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons corn syrup

Cook and stir over low heat until mixture comes to a boil and sugar is dissolved. Boil until candy reaches soft-ball stage (234 degrees F.), stirring often.

Then remove from heat and cool at room temperature until lukewarm (110 degrees F.), or until hand can be held comfortably on bottom of pan.

Add 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Beat until candy is thick and creamy and begins to hold its shape. Then pour into prepared pan. When cool, cut into 1 1/2-inch squares. Makes 2 dozen squares.
