From the August 5, 2020, MidWeek "Looking Back."
1945, 75 Years Ago.
"In Friday evening's paper the dry groceries price list for Group One and Two stores will be published. Use of this list will permit the housewives to know the correct ceiling prices in the stores doing less than $250,000 business per year.
"Housewives are urged to clip the list and post it on their pantry doors or some other common place where they may refer to it when making out their shopping lists."
So, not only were items rationed, but also price controls were a part of the home front war effort even as the war was drawing to a close.
