Summary
| Description | Photograph of the first printing of food stamps. Washington, D.C., April 20, 1939. Food stamps, the latest in the administration's plans to reduce the farm surplus, came off the presses today at the Bureau of Engraving and Printing. Of yellow [sic] and blue, the stamps will be issued to persons on relief who will be able to cash each one dollar stamp for food worth a dollar and fifty cents. Imogene Stanhope, printer's assistant at the Bureau, is pictured pulling the first batch off the press. | |||
