Notes

Abstract: During the war Americans on the home front spent an uneasy four years coping with critical shortages in certain foodstuff and commodities. Constantly urged to "use it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without," they patiently stood in life for the ration stamps that allowed them to purchase necessary items. In this photo essay, Oliver E. Rooker describes the ration program and the tremendous task of supplying the needs of civilians.
