All rents for living quarters in Kitsap County are under Federal Control
Text-only red-and-black notice from the Office of Price Administration: 'ALL RENTS' for living quarters in Kitsap County and parts of King and Pierce Counties, Washington, are under Federal Control, and tenants should 'Do not pay more than the rent of April 1, 1941'. A name and Seattle office are given for questions. The technique is faint; the sheet states the rule and its exception plainly, with the rule set in the largest red type.
