Twenty-First Annual Dinner Chamber of Commerce of the United States, Washington Auditorium, 1933

Description: View of the Twenty-First Annual Dinner of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce. Chamber members sit on raised platforms and others have coffee at round tables. President Franklin Roosevelt spoke at this dinner and he stands at the podium at the far right. He delivered an address on the Recovery Program and called for employers to cease reducing wages, stop practicing unfair methods of competition, and to think of the economy as a whole. Hoosier William Fortune (1863-1942) helped found the Indiana Chamber of Commerce and is likely in this photo.
The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order.
