CCC. Civilian Conservation Corps Foot Locker- trunk. 1930s

The Great Depression threw millions of Americans out of work. Life was miserable for rural and worse for city dwellers. Especially hard hit were young men just starting their work careers. They grew angry, frustrated at no job, no work, no money. Pres Roosevelt started a program that sent huge numbers of unemployed to underdeveloped middle of America. Gave them Room, board, a shovel and $1 day, some of their pay had to go home to their Mom and Dad. CCC gave them a metal foot lockers for all their belongings. It was an amazing Public Works Project that pumped money back into circulation that helped Make America Great Again.
