Summary/Abstract: The dramatic political situation of the Romanians in Transylvania, especially after the year 1867, imposed on them finding new ways and means to promote the national values. One of these ways was impelling the development of the household industry, therefore of the Romanian national costume. The articles published in Transylvania magazine, the press corps of ASTRA written by George Bariţiu, insisted on the necessity of maintaining this industry within the context of the major economy. Through this, they are preserved both the pure Romanian values and the national consciousness. Preserving the national identity is connected to the developing and the promoting of the household industry.
