Not necessarily.

It nay be a nice little woman in a gingham house­
dress, and a nice mon in a clean white coat
behind a counter, exchanging news of their boys
overseas.
They're old friends. She's always counted on him
to help her out. He's always tried to do so.
Now she's up against rationing. Shopping isn't
so simple.
So, some transaction takes place that isn't strictly
according to the rules.
And lady — that's what makes a Black Market.
It can happen in neighborhood filling stotions, in
corner groceries or meat markets, in shoe stores
— anywhere that rationed goods are bought and
sold.
k occurs when any ration sale takes place without
ration stamps.
If “innocent" little transactions like this do not
stop, it will take our living essentials from us,
ration stamps or no. It will drive us all to Black
Markets — and cost us alt the sky-high prices
without which Black Markets cannot risk existence.
It will eventually mean the breakdown of daily
living.
