Everyone who enjoys coffee should read these, questions and remember. the : answers. Q. Who is entitled to.buy coffeeP 'A. Every person who now has a boot of War Ration Stamps. (originally issued for sugar) and was 15 years of age:or over at the time of registration. Q. Suppose I don't have a "Sugar Book"? .-''At Consult your local Food Rationing Board. You Ian register for one now," arid if you're over 15 years - of age,' the stamps will be-good, for coffee, too, Q. When can I buy coffee?, , : , - if. Any time after midnight) Saturday, November ; 2$. 'From midnight, Saturday, November 21, to mid night," Saturday,. November 28, is a "freeze period" when grocers will not be allowed to sell any coffee to consumers. "This "freeze period" is for the purpose of giving grocers an opportunity to replenish their depleted' coffee stocks. Don't expect your grocer to selLyou coffee next week. You'll just be asking him to break the law.:- f Qi. How much coffee am I entitled . to buy under rationing? - . v ' A. For every person qualified by age, Stamp No. 27 in the "Sugar Book" (lower left-hand corner) is good for one pound of coffee any time between, mid- . night, Saturday, Jfovember 28, and midnight, Satur day, January 2. Each subsequently authorized stamp i will be good for one pound of coffee every five weeks thereafter.- If the basis ormethod of coffee rationing ' is changed in. any respect, it, will be publicly an nounced and your' grocer will also know, Q. How do I buy my coffee?. ' A. Take your ''Sugar Book", War Rationing . Book One to the store with yoli. Ask for a pound of Hills Bros. Coffee; or whatever brand you prefer. The grocer will detach the proper stamp. He has to see the book because of the.age limit. If you order by telephone the grocers employee. or per son authorized by him to make delivery . to- your home will detach' the stamp. Please don't expect to get coffee .without surrendering -a rationing stamp. -Your grocer must have these stamps to replenish his supply. Q. Am I limited to buying only one pound ' of coffee at a time?. A. No. You can buy as many pounds at a time as your family has stamps for during the specified period. . But we urge for the present at leasts that you buy coffee just as you need it one or two stamps at s time. Wartime problems of production and trans portation will make it difficult to have plenty of colffee every place at the same time. If you'll help "spread it out" you should be able to get your share always. Q. Ill eat some meals in a restaurant do I have to take my rationing book?, " . A. No, you don't. Coffee rationing, as we have explained it, applies only to supplies for home use purchased through grocery stores. Restaurants, as well as all other "institutions" such as defense plants, hospitals, schools and any other group that purchases coffee for serving as beverage, are authorized to apply to Rationing Boards for certificates enabling them to purchase amounts of coffee which will permit service on a rationed basis, Q. I have a boy in the Armed Forces. Will It give him more coffee if I don't buy any coffee at all ?, A. No, it won't help him a bit. Coffee to-every branch of the Service is exempt from rationing. And Uncle Sam is giving the boys not only more, but better; coffee than they have ever had before. Q. "And finally Why has coffee been rationed?, 1 , A. Even if the rationing of coffee doesn't: permit . you as much coffee as you would like to have, please don't think of it essentially as limitation. It is limi tation in a sense, since supplies of green coffee from our neighboring Latin American countries have been reduced by a shortage of ships. But we've all got to be good sports. They can't ship it , . . we can't roast , and pack it . . . you can't drink it. The thing to do is to look upon coffee rationing pri marily as a guarantee that every person will be permit ted to buy as much as his neighbor. It il to be hoped that as the problem of supply", and demand becomes adjusted through the functioning of coffee rationing, you may be allowed to have more coffee HILLS BROS COFFEE, INC.
