National Recovery Administration (NRA) stud, 1934
The National Recovery Administration (NRA) was a key part of President Roosevelt’s New Deal plan to alleviate the impact of the Great Depression. It was initiated in 1933 as a voluntary membership organization. The goal was to bring together industry, labor, and government to develop standards for prices, wages, and hours. Businesses that supported the NRA policies put the blue eagle symbol in their windows and on their product packages. In 1935 it was declared unconstitutional because it infringed on the separation of powers between the branches of government.
