| Description | World War II cartoon shows Uncle Sam as a grocer standing in front of shelves of cans labeled "Adequate Army, Civilian Needs, Lend Lease, Escort Vessels, Farm Labor, Rubber Program, High Octane Gas, [and] Munition Production." President Roosevelt, as a customer, examines his stamp ration book, trying to decide what to purchase. The cartoonist's small signature bear looks on with concern. By 1943, most consumer goods had been rationed. Berryman suggests that the decisions governing priorities for the war effort constitute the most difficult rationing of all. |
