Content Description

This collection consists of materials dealing with the rationing program that occurred during World War II. The bulk of the collection is rationing coupons. In addition to the coupons, there are papers that would have accompanied coupons in the rationing process.

The coupons represent several different products that were rationed during the war. Some examples of these coupons were for shoes, gas, sugar, mileage, and typewriter rental. Also contained in the collection is a 1946 government pamphlet entitled, Rationing in World War III ,that discusses the program. Finally, there are forms, permits, and receipts concerning the use of rationing coupons. The collection gives a good indication of the process in how rationing coupons were used.
