WWII Homefront War Council Consumer Bulletin Collection

"WWII Home Front." A collection of original WWII-era mimeograph printed bulletins by the War Council Consumer Division, Rochester, Monroe County, NY. [undated, c.1942-1944]. The bulletins contain information on food preservation, war-time recipes and more. Rationing in World War II meant that recipes had to make the most of the food that was more easily available.
