Title
World War II Ration Books & Stamps
Description
The Office of Price Administration (OPA) was established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in August 1941, shortly before the United States entered World War II. The OPA was tasked primarily with setting ceiling prices for various goods, excluding agricultural products, and managing the rationing of scarce commodities during the war.
