They were scattered all over the floor before flay th*s morning when he was unpacking them. He says the only way to get anything now is to go after it, that if he had ordered those dishes it would probably have been several months before he could get them, and that if the government does n’t help the small independent business houses most of them will be forced to go out of business; nearly 20 per cent closed last year.New Bulletin sub scriptions entered for Pvt.

To Go Into Effect January 27 I “Ration coupon banking,” a new type of banking service for retail I ers and wholesalers of rationed | commodities, designed to* make the i nation’s ration program work more ! effectively, will be inaugurated I here on January 27, it is announc ed by the Tryon Bank & Trust 1 Co. This is a war service that the I government has asked the banks to [ undertake under which wholesalers | and the larger retailers will be required by the Office of Price Ad ministration to open “ration bank accounts” in the banks with which they customarily do business. Into these “ration accounts” the whole salers and retailers will deposit the ration coupons received from their customers against which they will draw special “ration checks” when ordering new supplies. It is expected that only the retailers whose food sales in December, 1942, exceeded $5,000 will be directed by the Office of Price Administra tion to open “ration accounts.” The bank rationing plan by small retailers, is optional. No charges of any kind will be made by the banks for this service. consumers sucn as nousewives, motorists, and other individuals who purchase rationed commoditi es for consumption will not be affected by the new “ration cou pon banking” system. They will continue to obtain their ration coupons from local ration boards and they will continue to “spend” their coupons at the stores just as they have been doing in the past. Only certain dealers selling ration ed commodities will have to open “ration bank accounts.” .Continued on Page Two-.
