"Gasoline", 1943
File — Box: 154, Folder: 1-8
Scope and Contents
A substantial amount of correspondence concerning an acute gasoline shortage in South Carolina resulting from the lack of facilities to distribute petroleum products along the Eastern Seaboard. Prior to the outbreak of World War II the vast majority of petroleum was brought in by tankers from the sea. As a result, the Office of Price Administration implemented gasoline rationing and distributed allotments.
