These pages contain the bylaws or Articles of Incorporation of the Allanstand Cottage Industries, drafted when the business was incorporated in 1916. As the crafts business grew, Frances Goodrich decided to sell shares in Allanstand in order to raise capital to grow the business and form a Board of Directors to advise her on running the Industries. "The aim of the corporation" as Article VII states, is "to help the people of the Southern Highlands to produce and to market handiwork, especially hand woven articles, basketry, and woodwork, and by so doing: to bring money into communities far from markets; and to give paying work to members of such communities: to give to the workers the interest of producing beautiful things, the delight of the skilled worker and artist: to save from extinction and to develope [sic] the old time crafts of the mountains."
