July 23, 1946 Mr. C. T. Van Ausdall Secretary of Chamber of Commerce North Platte, Nebraska Dear Mr. Van Ausdall:
We wish to acknowledge receipt of your letter with reference to extra sugar to the North Platte beverage makers for the purpose of getting 1000 cases of soft drinks for the Canteen Celebration, August 14, 1946.
We have written to the Omaha District Office requesting that this additional allotment of sugar be granted to the various bottlers. We feel that the North Platte Canteen was the outstanding activity granted all service personnel during the war. There was no O.P.A. regulation which permitted us to grant allotments of sugar, meat, and processed foods to a Canteen, but we were able to get the allotments and received a verbal approval from our Regional Office.
We have hopes that favorable action will be taken on this request, and we will advise you of the action taken just as soon as we hear from the Omaha District Office.
Yours very truly, J. C. SchlaterPrice Board Supervisor. RECEIVED
JUL 24 1946
