Like the previous image, this photograph appears to have been produced by the US government in order to explain ration procedures to the general public. The caption reads:
Point values on butter, lard, margarine, and other edible fats and oils are set by kind and weight. Points on rationed cheese are set the same way. Points on canned meat and canned fish are also set by kind and weight.
Photo by Alfred T. Palmer, 1943. [American Memory link]
