The NY Thruway is a system of controlled-access toll roads spanning 569.83 miles within the state of New York. The main line extends from the New York City line at Yonkers to the Pennsylvania state line at Ripley, passing through cities including Albany, Syracuse, and Buffalo.

During World War One, Victory Boys and Victory Girls clubs were organized in the US to raise five dollars per child for the United War Work Campaign. The kids were between the age 12 and 20 and received a pin when they turned in a pledge card. They had to work for the pledge and not solicit it from their parents or others, and many exceeded the pledge amounts. This was the first time in U.S. history that children were part of an organization that helped the war effort.

The National Recovery Administration (NRA) was an agency established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933. The goal was to eliminate cut throat competition by bringing industry, labor, and government together to create codes of fair practices and set prices during the Depression. The NRA, symbolized by the Blue Eagle, was popular with workers. Businesses that supported it put the symbol in their shop windows and on their packages. Although not mandatory, businesses that did not display the eagle were very often boycotted.

Adapted from an early decal. For more than 40 years, Frontier Town, a Wild West theme park, was a destination for families from across the country.
