In the paper, the importance of «The Industrial Aid League» in a development of Galician, of particular Stanislavov region, folk arts and craft (clothes, fabrics, lace) in the early XX century is considered.

The organization was represented in over 250 cities, towns and villages, some of which operated in the Stanisіaviv region: the main centers: Stanisіaviv, Kolomyja, Kosiv, Horodenka, Nadvirna, Kuty and others.
