Food rationing coupons served for clothing coupons too for the first few months after Britain inaugurated rationing of clothing June 1, 1941. This is the margarine page from a food book. When all the coupons have been used, a clothes rationing card may be obtained from any British post office by producing the empty food coupon book shown in London Jan. 29, 1942. Clothes rationing was started without any previous warning in order to prevent hoarding of clothing stocks. (AP Photo)
