Ask anyone who lived through WWII on the American "home front" about their experience, and the conversation will quickly turn to rationing. America had always been a land of abundance, but as soon as the U.S. entered the war in the winter of 1941-42 food shortages began. All of America's resources went to feeding the troops overseas. By 1943, it had become every citizen's duty to cut back on meat, sugar, coffee, canned foods, fuel, shoes, and consumer goods - "for the sake of America's future." This well illustrated poster highlights the attempt to eliminate price gauging at stores during these periods of intense rationing.
