Reply #33: Had to share this from the back of an old War Ration Book

[54anickel]

Rationing is a vital part of your country's war effort. This book is your Government's guarantee of your fair share of goods made scarce by war, to which the stamps contained herein will be assigned as the need arises.

Any attempt to violate the rules in an effort to deny someone his share and will create hardship and discontent.

Such action, like treason, helps the enemy.

Give your support to rationing and thereby conserve our vital goods. Be guided by the rule:
"If you don't need it, DON'T BUY IT."


HA! This type of action today would bring our consumption economy to a screeching halt. Instead the idiot-n-thief had to cry out for all to shop.
