Roosevelt was the longest serving US President, in office continuously for 12 years. In that time, he led the US through two major global events. Coming into office in 1933, his first task was dealing with the ongoing Great Depression of the 1930s. He implemented his ‘New Deal’, a program of reform which expanded the role of the federal government massively, sought to create jobs and encouraged economic growth. He then presided over the US throughout the Second World War, cooperating with other Allied leaders to defeat Japanese and Nazi forces and laying the groundwork for a new post-war world order. Unfortunately, although he won the war, he lost the battle with his ill-health, and died while still in office in April 1945. The quote featured on this tea towel celebrates him and a value held in common:

‘The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much; it is whether we provide enough for those who have little.’

Half Panama unbleached cotton (heavy weight, textured finish). Stitched on all four sides. Includes hanging loop. Measures approximately 19in x 27.5in. Machine wash at 110 degrees max. We recommend that before you use your tea towel for the first time you wash it at least once to soften up the material and make it more absorbent for drying dishes. Please note size can vary slightly.

    Franklin D. Roosevelt Tea Towel

    A strong and simple image of Roosevelt against a dark background with a great quote. I sometimes use these towels as wall hangings...,this one is beautiful in its simplicity and powerful in its message. Great towel.
