Weaving -- Appalachian Region, Southern

This article about the rise of mountain industries in western North Carolina was written by Anna Coyle and published in "The Farmer's Wife" in February, 1923. Coyle writes about the revival of weaving in the mountains and how it has sparked sales of old-time crafts at shops such as Allanstand Cottage Industries and Tryon Mountain Industries. Coyle quotes Allanstand founder Frances Goodrich and Allanstand store manager, Laura E. Merchant as to the purpose of the shop and Craft Revival in general. The article mentions Mrs. Almeda [Elmeda] Walker, a Tennessee weaver, and Mrs. G. D. Bradley, an Asheville, N.C. basket maker. The article features photographs of craft items and the mountain region.
