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.

This Holman's Catalog page shows luggage, including a leather club bag with double handles. This type of bag has two sizes. The smaller size is 18 inches and is $12.00. The larger one is 20 inches and is $13.50.

This is a list of the growth of the Island's first bank between the years 1858 and 1881. The people must have been happy when the dividend (what they got back) numbers got higher! I know I would!

Ladies' Cashmere stockings were sold at Stanley Brothers. This store was located on P.E.I., and it was also a General Store. The particular types of stockings sold were Llama, Silk Finished and Linen Spliced. The stockings were made out of long English spun yarn. They also came in colors such as black and grey.

This is a picture of a shot gun from the 1926 Holman's Catalog. It was a 12 gauge bolt shot gun.

This is a popular toy doll from the early 1900's that I found at the Orwell Corner general store. It has a porcelain head and hands. It also has a white kidaline jointed doll body with kidaline arms. It has full movement at the knees and cloth feet. It is filled with sawdust and covered in cotton. The doll was made by Armand Marseille in 1895.

This is a picture of an Island champion hockey team. The skates they wore were sold in the general store. The skates weren't that safe because there was no ankle support. I wouldn't want to be a goalie, because there was very little padding in the equipment.
