"Americans!
SHARE THE MEAT
as a wartime necessity
To meet the needs of our armed forces and fighting allies, a Government order limits the amount of meat delivered to stores and restaurants.
To share the supply fairly, all civilians are asked to limit their consumption of beef, veal, lamb, mutton and pork to 2 1/2 lbs. per person per week.
YOUR FAIR WEEKLY SHARE
Men, women and children over 12 yrs. old...2 1/2 Pounds per week
Children 6 to 12 yrs. old...1 1/2 Pounds per week
Children under 6 yrs. old...3/4 Pound per week
You can add these foods to your share: liver, sweetbreads, kidneys, brains and other variety meats; also poultry and fish.
HELP WIN THE WAR!
Keep within your share
