Anyone you wish can take the ration books to the store to do the buying for you or ours household. Rationing is the controlled distribution of scarce resources goods or services or an artificial restriction of demand. Rationing controls the size of the ration which is one person's allotted portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time. Rationing in the United States was introduced in stages during World War II with the last of the restrictions ending in June 1947. The Office of Price Administration OPA was established within the Office for Emergency Management of the United States government by Executive Order 8875 on August 28 1941. The OPA had the power to place ceilings on all prices except agricultural commodities and to ration supplies of other items including tires automobiles shoes nylon sugar gasoline fuel oil coffee meats and processed foods. In the summer of 1941 rationing in the United Kingdom increased because of military needs and German attacks on shipping in the Battle of the Atlantic. The British government appealed to Americans to conserve food to help the UK. The Office of Price Administration OPA warned Americans of potential gasoline steel aluminum and electricity shortages. It believed that with factories converting to military production and consuming many critical supplies rationing would become necessary if the country entered the war. The OPA established a rationing system after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December. The work of issuing ration books and exchanging used stamps for certificates was handled by some 5500 local ration boards of mostly volunteer workers selected by local officials. Many levels of rationing went into effect. Some items such as sugar were distributed evenly based on the number of people in a household. Other items like gasoline or fuel oil were rationed only to those who could justify a need. Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products.

Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products. Each ration stamp had a generic drawing of an airplane gun tank aircraft carrier ear of wheat fruit etc. and a serial number. Some stamps also had alphabetic lettering. The kind and amount of rationed commodities were not specified on most of the stamps and were not defined until later when local newspapers published for example that beginning on a specified date one airplane stamp was required in addition to cash to buy one pair of shoes and one stamp number 30 from ration book four was required to buy five pounds of sugar. The commodity amounts changed from time to time depending on availability. Red stamps were used to ration meat and butter and blue stamps were used to ration processed foods. To enable making change for ration stamps the government issued "red point" tokens to be given in change for red stamps and "blue point" tokens in change for blue stamps. The red and blue tokens were about the size of dimes 0.63 inches and were made of thin compressed wood fiber material because metals were in short supply. There was a black market in stamps. To prevent this the OPA ordered vendors not to accept stamps that they themselves did not tear out of books. Buyers however circumvented this by saying sometimes accurately as the books were not well-made that the stamps had "fallen out". In actuality they may have acquired stamps from other family members or friends or the black market. U.S. Government Printing Office unknown

In Ottoman script and French. 4 volumes: 144 p.; 4 150 p.; 12 p. 6 folded statistical tables. The third volume lacks its back cover and has a detached front cover with some staining present; the fourth volume shows wear and tear along the edges. First and only editions of these four exceedingly rare volumes form an invaluable collection presenting the earliest statistical tables that shed light on the diseases most commonly and least frequently encountered in early twentieth-century Ottoman Istanbul the causes of death resulting from illness and other factors average life expectancy and the overall health conditions of the city's population. The registers constitute an exceptional data source as the information is systematically disaggregated by religious affiliation Muslim and non-Muslim age and gender and further classified by neighbourhood and season. The statistical data contained in these registers documenting the causes of death in Istanbul and its surrounding districts is based on information compiled from ten divisions of the Department of Health Affairs as well as from major medical institutions including the Sixth Department Hospital Darü'l-Aceze Haseki Nisa Hospital Gümüssuyu Hospital Gureba-yi Müslimîn Hospital Toptasi Bîmârhâne the French Hospital the Jérémie Hospital established by the French Lazarists the Yedikule Armenian Hospital the Russian Hospital and the Italian British and German hospitals. According to these statistics tuberculosis organic heart failure and pneumonia were among the leading causes of death in Istanbul. Infant and child mortality also occupies a prominent place in the records largely attributable to poverty lack of education and inadequate hygienic conditions. Rare surviving copies from the statistical registers known to have been published between 1899 and 1907 specifically those for the years 1902 two issues 1903 and 1907. All these statistical bulletins are extremely rare; according to WorldCat only three copies are recorded worldwide in institutional holdings.

War Ration Book Two; No. 686366 EP OPA Form No. R-121

194289908Washington DC: Office of Price Administration U.S. Government Printing Office 1942. Presumed First Edition First issuance to this individual. Front and back covers printed on one side staple bound. Fair. The format is approximately 5.75 inches by 4.25 inches Front and back stapled with sheets of removable stamps originally within. MANY War Ration stamps remain Red E F R S T Blue N P Q R S T E F M L K J H G Z Y X W V U Numbers include 1 2 5 and 8. One Blue 5 is detached by present! Office of Price Administration stamp present on front. . Issued by Local Board 6286-1 of Shelby Illinois. This was issued by F. E. Galbreath. This was issued undated. Signed by the issuing official and William A. Ditzler. War ration books varied in design and content throughout the war years. Some were simple booklets with basic information while others included more elaborate instructions and patriotic messages. The stamps inside were often brightly colored and featured images of everyday items like shoes and cooking oil serving as a constant reminder of the sacrifices being made for the war effort. War Ration Book Two - January 1943 was the property of the United States Government. It is unlawful to sell or give it to any other person or to use it or permit anyone else to use it except to obtain rationed goods for the person to whom it was issued. Persons who violate Rationing Regulations are subject to $10000 fine or imprisonment or both. By 1944 whisky had disappeared from liquor store shelves as distilleries converted to the production of industrial alcohol. New car production was banned beginning January 1 1942 as former auto plants switched to the production of military vehicles. The 1943 war ration book is a unique and valuable collectible item that offers a glimpse into the United States’ war effort during World War II. The 1943 war ration book was issued to the American public in 1943 as part of the United States’ war effort. It was used to allocate food fuel and other essential resources to ensure fair distribution and minimize waste. The book contained a series of coupons which could be redeemed for specific goods and services such as gasoline tires sugar and coffee. Civilians first received ration books—War Ration Book Number One or the "Sugar Book"—on 4 May 1942 through more than 100000 schoolteachers PTA groups and other volunteers. Sugar was the first consumer commodity rationed with all sales ended on 27 April 1942 and resumed on 5 May with a ration of 1 2 pound 8 oz per person per week half of normal consumption. Bakeries ice cream makers and other commercial users received rations of about 70% of normal usage. Coffee was rationed nationally on 29 November 1942 to 1 pound every five weeks about half of normal consumption in part because of German attacks on shipping from Brazil. As of 1 March 1942 dog food could no longer be sold in tin cans and manufacturers switched to dehydrated versions. As of 1 April 1942 anyone wishing to purchase a new toothpaste tube then made from metal had to turn in an empty one. By June 1942 companies also stopped manufacturing metal office furniture radios television sets phonographs refrigerators vacuum cleaners washing machines and sewing machines for civilians. By the end of 1942 ration coupons were used for nine other items: typewriters gasoline bicycles shoes rubber footwear silk nylon fuel oil and stoves. Meat lard shortening and food oils cheese butter margarine processed foods canned bottled and frozen dried fruits canned milk firewood and coal jams jellies and fruit butter were rationed by November 1943. Many retailers welcomed rationing because they were already experiencing shortages of many items due to rumors and panics such as flashlights and batteries after Pearl Harbor. Ration Book Number Five is a very rare ration book only issued to very few people.

War Ration Book No. 3 Identification Stub; 437015 BH

194289902Washington DC: Office of Price Administation 1942. Presumed First Edition First printing thus. Single sheet printed on both sides. Good. The format is approximately 5 inches by 1.375 inches. Rare surviving item of War Rationing ephemera. This was originally attached to an application to obtain War Ration Book No. 3. The Office of Price Administration OPA was established within the Office for Emergency Management of the United States government by Executive Order 8875 on August 28 1941. The functions of the OPA were originally to control money price controls and rents after the outbreak of World War II. President Franklin D. Roosevelt inaugurated the Council of National Defense Advisory Commission on May 29 19404 to include Price Stabilization and Consumer Protection Divisions. Both divisions merged to become the Office of Price Administration and Civilian Supply OPACS within the Office for Emergency Management by Executive Order 8734 on April 11 1941. Civil supply functions were transferred to the Office of Production Management. It became an independent agency under the Emergency Price Control Act January 30 1942. The OPA had the power to place ceilings on all prices except agricultural commodities and to ration scarce supplies of other items including tires automobiles shoes nylon sugar gasoline fuel oil coffee meats and processed foods. At the peak almost 90% of retail food prices were frozen. It could also authorize subsidies for production of some of those commodities. Rationing is the controlled distribution of scarce resources goods or services or an artificial restriction of demand. Rationing controls the size of the ration which is one person's allotted portion of the resources being distributed on a particular day or at a particular time. Rationing in the United States was introduced in stages during World War II with the last of the restrictions ending in June 1947. In the summer of 1941 rationing in the United Kingdom increased because of military needs and German attacks on shipping in the Battle of the Atlantic. The British government appealed to Americans to conserve food to help the UK. The Office of Price Administration OPA warned Americans of potential gasoline steel aluminum and electricity shortages. It believed that with factories converting to military production and consuming many critical supplies rationing would become necessary if the country entered the war. The OPA established a rationing system after the attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December. The work of issuing ration books and exchanging used stamps for certificates was handled by some 5500 local ration boards of mostly volunteer workers selected by local officials. Many levels of rationing went into effect. Some items such as sugar were distributed evenly based on the number of people in a household. Other items like gasoline or fuel oil were rationed only to those who could justify a need. Restaurant owners and other merchants were accorded more availability but had to collect ration stamps to restock their supplies. In exchange for used ration stamps ration boards delivered certificates to restaurants and merchants to authorize procurement of more products. Each ration stamp had a generic drawing of an airplane gun tank aircraft carrier ear of wheat fruit etc. and a serial number. Some stamps also had alphabetic lettering. The kind and amount of rationed commodities were not specified on most of the stamps and were not defined until later when local newspapers published for example that beginning on a specified date one airplane stamp was required in addition to cash to buy one pair of shoes and one stamp number 30 from ration book four was required to buy five pounds of sugar. The commodity amounts changed from time to time depending on availability. Red stamps were used to ration meat and butter and blue stamps were used to ration processed foods. To enable making change for ration stamps the government issued "red point" tokens to be given in change for red stamps and "blue point" tokens in change for blue stamps. The red and blue tokens were about the size of dimes 0.63 in and were made of thin compressed wood fiber material because metals were in short supply. There was a black market in stamps. To prevent this the OPA ordered vendors not to accept stamps that they themselves did not tear out of books. Buyers however circumvented this by saying sometimes accurately as the books were not well-made that the stamps had "fallen out". In actuality they may have acquired stamps from other family members or friends or the black market. Most rationing restrictions ended in August 1945 except for sugar rationing which lasted until 1947 in some parts of the country. Office of Price Administation unknown

It was used to allocate food fuel and other essential resources to ensure fair distribution and minimize waste. The book contained a series of coupons which could be redeemed for specific goods and services such as gasoline tires sugar and coffee. Civilians first received ration booksâ€”War Ration Book Number One or the "Sugar Book"â€”on 4 May 1942 through more than 100000 schoolteachers PTA groups and other volunteers. Sugar was the first consumer commodity rationed with all sales ended on 27 April 1942 and resumed on 5 May with a ration of 1 2 pound 8 oz per person per week half of normal consumption. Bakeries ice cream makers and other commercial users received rations of about 70% of normal usage. Coffee was rationed nationally on 29 November 1942 to 1 pound every five weeks about half of normal consumption in part because of German attacks on shipping from Brazil.
