In 1932, a law was passed that required all RFC loan recipients be published in national newspapers. However, this law was soon repealed in 1933. The articles below contain information on loan recipients, loan amounts, interest rates, and month of disbursement for loans that were distributed during that year. All articles were retrieved from ProQuest Historical Newspapers.
