Old National Recovery Administration Photo - Recognize Anyone?

[frogpatch]

This is a long shot however I will give it a try. I found this photo in that same same old suitcase that I mentioned before. I would love to have one of those posters they are holding. They are worth 500.00 each today. This photo dates from 1932-33. It was most likely taken in Atlantic City as that is where the owner of the stuff lived in that era. They guy on the left in the foreground looks a little familiar. I would like to slap it in a frame but only if it has some significance historically. Like I said it is a long shot. I tried Google but I kept coming up with those pages that are copyright blocked.

That guy on the left does look a little bit like "Iron Pants" Johnson himself.

I wish Rauville. He looks a little to old and a bit too bald.

I sent an Email to the Atlantic City Historical Society. I have not gotten a reply yet. I have not had good luck with other HS's returning emails but lets hope.
