Rationing of Clothing, Cloth and Footwear from June 1

250 RATIONING of Clothing, Cloth, Footwear from June 1, 1941 Rationing has been introduced, not to deprive you of your real needs, but to make more certain that you get your share of the country's goods—to get fair shares with everybody else. When the shops re-open you will be able to buy cloth, clothes, footwear and knitting wool only if you bring your Food Ration Book with you. The shopkeeper will detach the required number of coupons from the unused margarine page. Each margarine coupon counts as one coupon towards the purchase of clothing or footwear.
