Philadelphia War Food Program Aids City
Philadelphia reports major food distribution changes as 700 carloads of government supplies head here from across the country. Major Jones says Philadelphia becomes the central hub for municipal, hospital, and charity food needs with parcels and post orders handled locally. The market commission moves all food sales to Gimbel Brothers store to fight hoarders, with Howard Heinz coordinating fair pricing. Prices are lowered on the new orders, and weekly government fish deliveries are promised. A large Philadelphia warehouse will store bacon, cherries, hominy, flour, jams, and other items, with next food sale held soon.
