Vintage Original 1945 Office Of Price Administration Resumption Of Home Canning Sugar Issuance Document Letter - Augusta Maine - June 15 - World War II Era - Ready For Framing

This Administrative Directive From The Office Of Price Administration In Augusta, Maine, Dated June 15, 1945, Details The Resumption Of Home Canning Sugar Issuance Under The Authority Of State Director Prescott H. Vose And District Food Rationing Officer Granville H. Wilcox. Classified As General Letter No. 89, The Document Instructs All War Price And Rationing Boards To Implement A Maximum Quota Of Five Pounds Of Sugar Per Person For The 1945 Season To Support Local Fruit Preservation During World War II. The Content Specifically Outlines Quota Control Procedures, Distinguishing This Period Of Economic Regulation From Previous 1944 Issuance Metrics While Ensuring Uniformity Across Sixty Regional Boards To Prevent Resource Scarcity. This Historical Record Serves As A Primary Source For The Logistical Operations Of The OPA Rationing Division And The Federal Management Of Domestic Food Supplies During The Late Stages Of The Global Conflict.
