War ration books were created when the U.S. entered World War 2 in 1942.

The war created shortages of commodities, products and materials that lasted into 1947.

The ration books with home front coupons or stamps were issued to the public that designed when and what quantity foods, clothing and gasoline could be purchased. It was a complex system that the U.S. drafted cartoonist Chuck Jones to explain on film.
