He later served as Secretary of Commerce and gained a reputation for organizing large-scale relief efforts before winning the presidency in 1928. He was inaugurated as the 31st President on March 4, 1929.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1466\" data-end=\"1895\"\u003eHoover's presidency became inseparably connected with the onset of the Great Depression following the stock market crash of October 1929. His administration pursued several responses to the worsening economic crisis, including establishment of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation in 1932 and the Federal Home Loan Bank system. Hoover was defeated by Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 election and left office on March 4, 1933.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"1897\" data-end=\"2219\"\u003eBeyond the economic crisis that dominated his administration, Hoover's presidency included the creation of the Veterans Administration, agricultural measures centered on the Federal Farm Board, efforts toward international disarmament, and continued development of the Colorado River dam project later known as Hoover Dam.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\" data-start=\"2221\" data-end=\"2488\"\u003eThe White House origin of this signed card gives it particular historical interest.
