Post WWII - England, Rationing on Clothing Ends Women shopping; trying on clothes. Street scenes of shop windows & clothing. Tickets removed from window displays re coupons. Sign placed in windows saying you can now purchase all sheets & towels coupon free. Narration is a government appeal to not over buy / hoard; and to think of the export drive - talks about price controls & need not to raise prices now that coupons not required. Woman tears up coupons now that rationing is off. Post-WW2; Economics; Shortages; Exporting; International Trade; Balance of Trade; 1950s;
