A page from a 1945-era War Department/OPA informational pamphlet explaining wartime price controls, rationing, and the economic risks of postwar inflation. Distributed to servicemen and civilians alike, such literature urged compliance with price ceilings to avoid a repeat of the economic collapse that followed World War I. This example was preserved among personal photographs and memorabilia from the China-Burma-India theater, illustrating how home-front messaging traveled with veterans as keepsakes of the war years.
