To All Wholesale and Retail Groccrs

The sugar situation is very acute
The Food Administration must rely
upon your patriotic cooperation to
tide over the the situation
The Food Administration estimat-
cd that the supply OF sugar for July
for the United States would be three
hundred thousand (3OO.OOO) tons;
the supply actually fell short OF
these figures by a large margin The
result is that there is not enough
sugar to supply the country on the
basis of the first allotment made and
the allotment for August must be
further reduced.
1t is sternly necessary for the re-
and prevent those who are greedy
and unpatriotic from obtaining more
than their fair share. The best de-
vice to accomplish this is to keep a
record of all sugar sales, making a
carbon copy of the record, and send
the copy to the County Food Admin
istrator. He can, therefore. check
on those who are buying more than
two pounds per person per month
This record of sugar sales will be re-
CURED of all retailers in South
Carolina.
See that an equal distribution of
sugar is made to your customers.
Wholesalers should furnish sugar
TO retailers in original packages
where possible. No new jobbers or
wholesalers starting to handle sugar
after July 1st will be given licenses
or certificates Wholesalers should
not give sugar to retailers in excess
OF normal requirements, even if GER
tificates are presented, but such
wholesalers should Immediately no.
tify the State Administrator.
With reference to canning, it
should be spread in every possible
way that fruit can be water-packed
without sugar The sugar may be
added at time OF consumption In
formation on this can be obtained
from the Department of Agriculture.
| Washington. ID. G..
The profit on sugar will be strictly
watched and the retail profit should
lhot exceed one cent a pound except
where the fractio9,sPf a, cent is in.
vaiyed. d ~ Y
Sales of sugar should. not exceed
two pounds at one sale to a custome
who lives in town. and should not
exceed five pounds to customer who
lives In the country. The allowance
OF sugar is two pounds per person
