AMENDMENT TO CODE OF FAIR COMPETITION FOR 

THE ARTIFICIAL FLOWER AND FEATHER INDUSTRY 

Article VI is hereby amended by adding a new section to be 

known as: 

Section 9. All invoices and copies thereof, covering products manufactured, or distributed, subject to provisions of this Code, shall 

bear an NRA label to symbolize to purchasers of said products the 

conditions under which they were manufactured or distributed. 

Each label shall bear a registration number, especially assigned to 

each member of the Industry by the Code Authority, and shall 

remain attached to such invoice or copies thereof. Any Member 

of the Industry may apply to the Code Authority for a permit to 

use such NRA label, but said member may use such label only if 

and so long as he complies with this Code. The Code Authority, 

subject to the approval by the National Industrial Recovery Board, 

shall establish rules and regulations and appropriate machinery for 

the issuance of labels, method of their attachment and the inspection,

of compliance with the practices herein contained by all other 

members. 

It shall be optional with any member of this Industry to affix 

such NRA labels on containers, packages or boxes or individual 

units, if he so desires; this discretionary provision, however, shall 

not relieve any member from attaching the label to the invoice and 

copies thereof, as heretofore provided. 

The charge made for such labels by the Code Authority shall at 

all times be subject to supervision and orders of the National Industrial Recovery Board and shall not be more than an amount necessary 

to cover actual cost thereof.
