Caption: 'Losing Money? Support the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation

The Great Depression devastated the economy of the United States. High levels of unemployment and homelessness caused many people to lose faith in the government and innumerous banks. In order to restore faith in financial corporations and to protect the investments of citizens, the government created the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. This organization was a major part of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal or his plan to strengthen the economy. People would place their money in the banks. If anything were to happen, their money would be insured and they would not lose it. The running man in the image represents an ordinary citizen and his flying money represents the finances he has lost in the wind. The net catching and saving his money symbolizes the work that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation intends to do.
