What was the ration book?
Since food was needed for soldiers to fight the war food was rationed, meaning people were restricted on how much of certain foods they could buy. A ration book contained removable stamps good for certain rationed items, like sugar, meat, cooking oil, and canned goods. A family could only buy as much of these commodities as they had stamps for them. Stores were required by law to only sell amounts matching the customer's stamps. Some merchants sold more than they were permitted at inflated prices. They were call blackmarketers and were scorned by loyal Americans.
What are ration stamps and why were they used during World War 2?
Because of the great amount of food that had to be alloted to U.S. servicemen in this country and overseas during World War Two (Over 16 million) -- and the food that had to be sent to our allies -- there was a shortage of many types of food here in this country. Those types of foods then had to be rationed -- there were only varying amounts available at any given time. The only way to make sure that every American citizen was able to buy their fair share of the rationed foods was by coupons. A family or a person would periodically be alloted a book of coupons (called Ration Stamps).I can't remember how often the ration stamp books were distributed -- maybe once a month When people went to the store to buy food thay would have to redeem the ration stamps for (only)those foods considered in short supply. The greater amount of the shortage type foods purchased -- the more stamps you had to turn in. You could spend all your ration stamps right away or parcel them out over a period of time. When they were gone -- they were gone. You didn't get any more until you got your next book of ration stamps. vcs
