Summary edit

Description

I saw this historic emblem on a flour sack used as a seat cover for a 1928 Model A displayed at The Old Car Club of Gallipolis 34rd Annual Car Show. . I remember seeing the emblem on grocery items during my grade school years. I dimly remember articles in the Weekly Reader that we read in 5th grade.

Here's an excerpt from a fascinating Wikipedia article:

"All companies that accepted President Franklin D. Roosevelt's Re-employment Agreement or a special Code of Fair Competition were permitted to display a poster showing the Blue Eagle together with the announcement, "NRA Member. We Do Our Part."[1][2][3] Consumers were exhorted to buy products and services only from companies displaying the Blue Eagle banner.[1][3] According to Johnson,


"When every American housewife understands that the Blue Eagle on everything that she permits into her home is a symbol of its restoration to security, may God have mercy on the man or group of men who attempt to trifle with this bird." [9]
