Rationing means a fair share for us all

Roese, Herbert · 1943

Two pictures illustrate the outcome of a trip to the butcher with and without rationing. The top picture, captioned "without rationing," shows a woman leaving with several wrapped packages while a second woman looks stunned as the butcher apologetically holds a single chop. The lower picture, captioned "with rationing," shows the smiling butcher standing between two women each holding a ration book and a single wrapped package.
