A 1907 Craftsman article arguing that home industries could give American farm and village women income and creative satisfaction. It describes Helen R. Albee's Abnakee hooked rugs from Pequaket, New Hampshire, including her experiments with dyes and materials and the colors of several illustrated designs. It then covers woven rag-type rugs: the Martha Washington, Priscilla, John Alden (basket-weave) and Dorothy Manners (hit-or-miss) rugs made in Philadelphia and Germantown.
