War and Its Rationing Problems
Sugar was first in food rationing and soon we'll be faced with the rationing of meats. These are problems for the food dealers too as much as the consumer. There are still many foods for which you need no rationing card and they're available every day in the week. Our stock will suggest many items for nourishing well balanced meals and we invite you to stop in when shopping. You'll find it's easier to find suitable foods than you thought possible and the prices are moderate too.
