Abstract:
The Southern Highland Handicraft Guild, Inc., in Asheville, North Carolina, is a non-profit organization created in 1928 to encourage commercial production by craftsmen in the highlands. Sales of Southern Appalachian handicrafts totaled about $5 million in 1959, and business has increased considerably in the last two years. Today, the guild operates six retail shops, and could easily increase its $365,000 annual sales if not for the already high demand placed on local craftsmen for their work.
