Members of a fraternal organization attending the National Recovery Administration (N.R.A.) parade, Lorain, Ohio. 1933

September 1, 1933 / Downtown Lorain

Nine members of a men's fraternal organization attending the National Recovery Administration parade in Lorain, Ohio on September 1, 1933.
The National Recovery Administration was, per Britannica.com, "U.S. government agency established by Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt to stimulate business recovery through fair-practice codes during the Great Depression."

The fraternal organization, judging by the tasseled hats worn, may be the local chapter of the Masonic Order. There was a Masonic organization in Lorain in 1933, according to the Lorain Journal newspaper. The men are standing in front of a float in the shape of a lion.

The caption written on the photograph is: "Awarded 2nd Prize in the N.R.A. Parade - Sept 1, 1933 Lorain, O." Photographer is unknown.
