Iowa's Ration Timetable and Gasoline Coupons Described
The document lists rationing rules and coupon specifics for gasoline and fuel oil, including coupon numbers and validity periods, with instructions to record license numbers on coupons. It also details stamps for processed foods meats fats and canned fish, and airplane stamps, all noting indefinite validity for several items.
