1942

This is a specialty cookbook from 1942 designed to teach consumers how to can, pickle and preserve certain food items in order to prevent waste and food shortage during wartime. The author of the book stresses the importance of self-canning during wartime, as it takes weight off of the mass production of canned goods and allows some of those factories to focus on creating the required tools of war for U.S. soldier overseas. The author goes into striking detail about the process of canning, preserving and pickling at home, while always underlying its importance to the preservation of democracy during wartime, a statement that is not uncommon in books of this nature from the 1940s.
The book is part of The Eastman Family Collection. Additional informaiton can be found here: http://wdeastman.com/the-homefront-during-wwii/

This small book was created as a guide for consumers in 1942 on what to buy, where to buy it, and why they have a responsibility as American citizens to follow the ration regulations during wartime. The book explains the reasoning behind rationing certain products, why the factories that once created clothing, food items and vehicles must be repurposed to create ammunition, guns and tanks. This was, no doubt, a controversial topic for Americans during WWII, but as this book tries to explain, the very real need for tools of war in order to win overseas outweighed the need for a variety of consumer products. Pricing, inflation and what happens after the war are all other topics that the book addresses, all while maintaining a confident and calming tone that assures the reader and the consumer that the state of affairs in the U.S. will not stay this way permanently, but for now it was their duty to work with government regulation in order to preserve western democracy.
