This Mileage Rationing Record was issued to Mr. Caryll Crafts of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, on October 23, 1944. The stub had to be presented with each application renewal. Rationing became a way of life for people on the home front during World War II (1941-1945). It affected the quantity and kind of food people ate, the distance they could travel, and the clothes they wore. Rationing ensured that each person would get their fair share of the items that were in short supply due to the war effort and import reductions.
