ME TO RED & M/H/TE FOP THE
Most of us like to think of rationing as a form of sharing. Thai is
simply what it is. Yet, there are a lot of foods which have a
LOW POINT VALUE because they are more abundant and there
is plenty to $0 around. If you do all your shopping at Red & White, you will find that your
ration stamps buy more quality than if you spent them for lesser grade foods. Buy Red 8c
White quality! The stand-by of over 10 million housewives for nearly a quarter of a century.
