Local Ration Boards Set Special Shoe Certificates
Ration boards will issue special certificates to meet shoe needs of expectant mothers, fire or theft victims, policemen and others with unusual walking requirements. Shoe dealers will hold ration coupons initially, with plans to transfer to whole sellers or manufacturers later. Stores may order shoes in their usual manner and mail shoppers may attach ration stamps to orders for mail orders. The plan aims to save leather and labor by eliminating evening slippers and platform styles, freeing 15,000,000 pairs of shoes and 100,000 man-hours daily.
