After trial for the past two years,
the War Department has approved the
permanent establishment of the quar-
termaster ration purchasing system.
Under the new system the quarter
master makes all ration purchases,
while under the old system those items
not contained on the authorized quar-
termaster ration list. were purchased
by the mess Sergeants themselves from
the provision dealers nearest the post.
A new War Department order estab-
fishing this new ration procurement
system will be issued in the near future.
Under the old order of things the
mess officer or mess sergeant would
travel to the nearest town and pro-
cure his fresh fruits and vegetables
This has all been changed by the new
system. For his supply of canned goods,
the mess sergeant procures these items
from the post quartermaster, as of old,
but for his fresh fruits and vegetables,
he notifies the Quartermaster of his
needs in this line, who after ascertain
ing the needs of the entire garrison,
goes to town and makes his purchases.
This enables the Quartermaster to buy
in large quantities. which effects a con-
siderable saving, which Is reverted back
to the ration savings for each post unit.
The new system also assures a greater
variety for the personnel OF the mill
tary establishment at much lower cost.
