We have a very good idea of the importance of stocking supporters and long stockings from the period catalogs and advertisements in newspapers and magazines. What we rarely get to see is how stocking supporters were marketed in stores. Occassionaly we come across photographs showing the inside of shops and department stores. They are not, however, very common. We had thought tghat there might be modest counter displays for stocking supporters. We note one photograph of a very elborate diplay for the Whiz Suspender which appears to offer Kazoo stocking supporters. We are not entirely sure if this was an actual display or an advertizing gimic. Nor are we sure yet how common such displays would have been in clothing stores.
