The Original NRA

I found a tie today that I thought was neat, but I didn't realize just how neat it was until I took a close look at the skinny end. A small piece of paper folded around the tie proclaimed that it was produced in accordance with the National Recovery Act. This program was instituted by FDR way back in 1933, and overturned by the courts in 1935, but was quite popular in the meantime. That means this tag has been attached to this tie for more than 70 years! You never know what you'll find in those thrift stores...
