GASOLINE
RATIONED TO SAVE RUBBER
Sticker
Needed to Purchase Gasoline
WASHINGTON, D.C.— William Jeffers, Rubber Director
of the War Production Board, quoted from the September 1942 Baruch Rubber
Report submitted to President Roosevelt when he said, “Gas rationing is the
only way to save rubber.” Nationwide gasoline rationing has been in effect
since December 1 of last year. The Office of Price Administration reminds
citizens that in addition to the required gasoline ration coupons, an
appropriate mileage ration sticker must be affixed to a vehicle’s windshield in
order to purchase gasoline. To receive a mileage ration sticker, one must
appear before his local War Price and Rationing board and certify both a need for
a gasoline ration and ownership of no more than five tires.
