Scene in an American supermarket, free of rationing in 1948. The concept of the supermarket where all manner of goods could be bought in one place, without the assistance of a shop keeper, & then paid for at a checkout, was first introduced in America where rationing did not feature following World War II. This picture was one of a series taken in an A&P supermarket; America’s largest chain begun in 1937 and with 1670 supermarkets by 1948.
