Suspenders were used by boys and men in the 1900's to hold up their pants, so you can see they were important. Suspenders were used in different jobs, too. There was a special kind for police and even a designer suspender. Another word for suspender is "brace."

Shoes were used a lot in the 1900's and were important to people. Shoes were advertised in many catalogues, such as Holman's Catalog. People usually used the catalogue to look at the items or to pick a gift by looking through the pages.
