The National Recovery Administration (NRA) was a New Deal agency established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. The NRA was created by the National Industrial Recovery Act (NIRA) and allowed industries to write "codes of fair competition" to reduce "destructive competition," setting minimum wages and maximum weekly hours, as well as minimum prices at which products could be sold. In 1935, the Supreme Court unanimously declared that the NRA law was unconstitutional, ruling that it infringed the separation of powers under the United States Constitution. The NRA quickly stopped operations, but many of its labor provisions reappeared in the National Labor Relations Act (Wagner Act), passed later the same year. The long-term result was a surge in the growth and power of unions, which became a core of the New Deal Coalition that dominated national politics for the next three decades.

This sign shown here was used by NRA members to advertise their agreement with and support of the NRA, symbolized by the Blue Eagle. Though membership to the NRA was voluntary, businesses that did not display the eagle were often boycotted, making it seem mandatory for survival to many. The invalidation of the compulsory code system in September 1935 led to the abolition of the blue eagle emblem and the prohibition of its future use as a symbol.
