Your flour card will become an
Equality Flour Certificate"
This little piece OF cardboard the !
kaiser wished on Oklahoma county folk |
about ten days ago, started out in lie |
with C. II Russell as its godfather and |
was known as wheat products |
card This designation failed to win |
entire approval Of the seventy odd |
county food administrators who attend
ed conferences here, hence its change |
OF name
The preamble Of the card will read |
"Under the fair distribution plan the |
owner of this certificate is entitled to |
such amounts OF flour, bread. macaroni |
and wheat breakfast foods as are shown |
to be unpunched by the numbers on
the margin OF this certificate"
When the cards Oklahoma county |
people are now using have had all their |
margin marks punched by the grocer |
with whom they deal, they will use the
modified card, or. as il will be called, |
Equality Flour Certificate"
