Many of us are aware that food and gasoline were rationed in the United States during World War II, but did you know that bicycles and typewriters were rationed, too? American industry shifted from consumer to wartime production for the war effort, limiting Americans’ ability to purchase appliances, automobiles, and a number of otherwise common consumer goods. Ration stamps and books were printed to ensure that goods were equitably distributed for Americans to survive, while also supplying the armed forces who were fighting on two fronts, thousands of miles away. Local collector, author, and historian Matt DiPalma will showcase a selection of his original World War II ephemera, documents, ration cards, and ration books, and explain what made rationing different in Culpeper and the U.S., compared to other nations during the war.
