The follo'rving direction is issued in accordance with Order M-364, paragraph (d). It tells how orders placed through wholesalers can be approved on Form WPB-2720 in cases where, because of the number of producers the wholesaler buys from and the uncertainty of deliveries from them, it is not feasible to designate producers on the form.

In filing a Form WPB-2720 he need not show the name of the producer, but only the name of the wholesaler with whom he has placed his order. He must state that he is applying under Direction 2 in the space provided for the name of the producer. On the back of thc form he must show that his order has been accepted by the wholesaler named. The purchaser must file a separate application for each wholesaler with whom orders havc been placed.
