DEEMS letter sent out to all dealers
A great many certificates are
coming into this Office showing
that dealers are giving out flour
on certification that the consum-
er has In his possession potatoes,
beans and other items.
We wish you would take immed-
late steps to advise all dealers in
your county that this must be
stopped.
Beans, canned goods Of any
kind, and breakfast foods must
not be used as substitutes.
Potatoes can only be sold by
dealers as substitute in the
ratio Of four to one In cases OF
emergency.
We also want to call your at
tention to the fact that while It
is growing increasingly difficult
to obtain a sufficient quantity Of
substitutes, retail dealers must
not under any circumstances sell
flour to consumers unless they
have substitutes on hand or I'M
less the consumer can certify the
necessary substitutes In his pos
session.
Dealers are not permitted to
apply past purchases OF wheat
flour substitutes on wheat flour
purchased, without certincation
that such past purchases Of sub
stitutes still remain On hand. In
other words, unless the consumer
has these substitutes on hand and
certifies to the fact, to the deal
er, he Is not permitted to buy
wheat flour without tho subst-
tutes.
Certifcation has already been
stopped in some sections and
from present indications It may
be necessary for US to take the
