A December 1940 article by Nellie Sargent Johnson offering practical advice to weavers who want to sell their work. It covers the difference between amateur and professional weavers, the need for originality, choosing a specialty such as handwoven bags, costing and pricing, equipping a workroom, buying materials, valuing time, and selling outright versus on consignment. It includes pricing examples and a simple formula of materials plus labor plus about 50% overhead.
