During World War II, many supplies that we take for granted were in very short supply, mostly because they were needed by the military. Gasoline, tires, butter, and many other goods were not readily available. As a means of promoting "fairness" in the distribution of scarce supplies, a ration card system was imposed.
Thus, ration cards are cards or stamps that allowed the government to ration out food and supplies to that card or stamp holder when they were in short supply.
