Book cover lettering from 1953 -- an era when hand lettering was being supplanted by photo type.
In either case this looks like condensed lettering perhaps derived from Warren Chappell's Lydian, published by American Type Founders in 1938.
I have not found a digital match to the letters, but there is some similarity to Lydian Bold

Suggested font: Lydian Bold

STERILIZED UNSWEETENED EVAPORATED MILK resembles LTC Globe Gothic Extra Condensed, based on a design by Morris Fuller Benton, circa 1900.

BESS MILK is hand-lettered.
I have not found a digital font that is a close match.
The rounded serifs and swan-like _S_ are found in Verona TS Bold, which could be edited to make a substitute.

Suggested font: Verona Bold

Good find

The regular or bold of Ligurino Cond should do the trick. Perhaps with a small additional squeeze in width.
Budget price

Suggested font: Ligurino Cond

I said: "... particularly if the lower rhs is rounded."
I forgot to say the letter is _U_
It should read "...particularly if the lower rhs of _U_ is rounded."

Looks like hand lettering for _AUTOMATRON_ -- note differences for repeating letters that can not be explained by differences in scale.
EDITED: Elephantmen Tall Bold would work as a substitute, particularly if the lower rhs of _U_ is rounded.

Suggested font: Elephantmen Tall Bold

Another script which could be sloped more upright and edited to make a substitute for for _ourmet_ is Classic Script MN

Suggested font: Classic Script



Easier to deal with details using a positive image

Custom logo for a food magazine.
Nothing similar to the _G_
The closest I could find for _ourmet_ is Sonata Pro, which could be sloped more upright and edited to make a substitute

Mellissa Inline is a Letraset font by Douglas Sheldrake from the pre-digital era (1977). The letters, including the swash _T_, match those in my old Product Manual from Letraset.
Don't know of a digital version from a legitimate source.

Since my previous post I came across Wall Scrawler.
It could be used as an approximate substitute.
Note that, unlike many comic book fonts, Wall Scrawler has different letters for the upper and lower case letters.
The link shows the lower case in use.
