War Rations for Pennsylvanians tells the story of the operations of the Federal Food Administration in Pennsylvania; including personal and biographical sketches of its officers and members, with dramatic, humorous and unusual episodes in the experience of county administrators during the war. The book written by George Nox McCain and was published in 1920 by The John C. Winston Co.
Although rationing is most frequently associated with World War II, this book focuses on war rationing in Pennsylvania during World War One. Various portraits of people connected to war rationing both nationally and in Pennsylvania are used to illustrate the book. The book opens with a really beautiful portrayal of Herbert Hoover as the National Food Administrator. Hoover would become president four years later.
Bonus: a letter found in the book from the White House stamped and dated 1929 has been left for your enjoyment. How fun!

Who We AreWhen your shopping for a new novel, most readers don't imagine that you can do it in a eco-friendly way. In every area of your life you can live a sustainable lifestyle even while shopping for new to you vintage books!
Sustainable living is accomplished by making choices that reduce our environmental impact by making fundamental changes to counteract climate change and decrease ecological destruction.
Buying vintage anything is essential because recycling and reusing items means fewer polluting resources are being used to make brand new books, kitchen items, bookends, and more.
Approximately 640,000 tons of books are deposited in the landfill annually at an average weight of 4 pounds each. This averages out to about 320 million books discarded each year that are not recycled. Wow!
