Pork from Farm Slaughterers
Twelve red stamps in Book Four,
which are numbered "8" and lettered
from "A" through "M", may be used
for buying pork and other rationed
meats from farm slaughterers. These
stamps will not be used by consumers
in general until February 81. They will
have the same expiration dates for
purchases from farmers as in city
markets. The stamps are worth 10

dividual who buys from a farm
slaughterer larger meat ration than
anyone else. 1t merely allows him to
buy fairly large amount at one time.
In addition, brown stamps in Book
Three may be used ahead of their
regular validity dates when used in
buying from farmers.
Consumers will get 2 meats-fats
points and cents for each pound of
