Town and Farm in Wartime Ration Reminder
In a wartime shortage area the ration reminder notes that "A" book coupons No. 6 are valid for three gallons each while "B" and "C" coupons apply to other goods. The notice emphasizes continued compliance with rationing rules during shortages.
Wartime rationing and prices in the 1940s drive
The notice outlines gasoline rationing across the Northeast and Eastern shortage areas with B and C coupons for three gallons in five states, requires vehicle owners to endorse coupons with license numbers and state registrations, and notes Roosevelt's Third War Loan drive with a fifteen billion dollar goal announced on September 9. It also reports fat and oil allocations for civilians, totaling 44 pounds per capita for the year ending June 30, 1944, plus the impact on direct and indirect consumption, and notes a 0.2 percent drop in the cost of living for city workers in mid-June due to lower fresh vegetables and butter prices.
