Description
Time Magazine – May 12, 1941 – Vol. 37 No. 19 – Price Boss Leon Henderson
This original issue of Time Magazine, dated May 12, 1941, features Leon Henderson, the U.S. government’s top price control official, on the cover. As Administrator of the Office of Price Administration (OPA), Henderson was a central figure in the Roosevelt administration’s efforts to stabilize the American economy during wartime mobilization. His work in curbing inflation and managing price controls became increasingly vital as the nation ramped up defense production and prepared for potential entry into World War II.
Inside, the issue covers Henderson’s policies, political challenges, and growing public influence, alongside broader reporting on domestic affairs, global conflict, and economic transitions. Complemented by vintage advertisements and editorial content, this magazine offers a detailed look at America’s pre-war economic climate.
