In the 1950's, formulas like Similac and Enfamil were not yet widely available. Mothers would actually use a written formula to mix up the ingredients in the formula by hand. They would get a large bowl and combine Karo Syrup (corn syrup), evaporated milk, water, and possibly one or two other ingredients. This was the "formula" that most babies of the 1950's and even much of the 1960's were fed.

Adjusted for inflation, this cost would be significantly lower than today's prices, reflecting both changes in manufacturing and market dynamics over the decades.
