Literature & Lore about Sugar Cubes

"Sugar tablets and cubes will be available and in volume soon for civilian tables. Enormous quantities of tablets have been going to the Russian foot soldiers through lend-lease and to the American GI's. Purchases have been cut almost in half with the war's ending and sugar cubes are returning; first allotments are scheduled for hotels and restaurants."
