1943: WAR RATIONING COMES TO AMERICA

 
I post in numerous pages on Facebook. One of the pages referred to WWII rationing and I received a query from a visitor asking when rationing was started. Here is a fairly complete set of graphics that will explain some of the complicated "ins and outs" of the system. Fortunately for the Glover family, we had Mr. Palombi to interpret the laws for my mom. That great old grocery store on South Olden Avenue was very popular in our neighborhood back then. In the meantime, I am going to look for Mrs. Carabelli's query and post these on Facebook where the lower page will be easily read, but not so the large graphic above.
