Description
Photograph of an interior view of a grocery store showing a food ration line during World War Two, ca.1941-1945. Two uniformed women are standing at a counter at center, calculating the price of groceries in front of them. The one at left holds a sheet of ration coupons. Three other people, two women and a man, look on from behind them. Stacks of cans can be seen on shelves at right, as well as on a display at left. Large windows can be seen high on the wall in the background at center. A sign on the counter reads "Enter for ration foods only. No other way out".
