Quick overview on the SWA sponsors' mission & brief history.

Creating a suspender that actually did what it was supposed to do became an obsession with Sal Herman. Only after he got a patent for a new snap-on suspender clip did he learn that his design was the first major update to this very common menswear item in more than a century.

Did you know that thousands, perhaps even millions of men have a tangle of slightly worn suspenders tucked away somewhere because the clips won't hold? One industry source says more than three million pairs of suspenders are sold each year. Unfortunately most of these don't last long. The clips give out quickly and the wearer must bend them frequently with pliers, or consign them to a junk pile. How often do the competitive brands, used by most tuxedo rental firms, hold up to just one day's wear and tear??

Even when they are new, users are constantly reattaching their suspenders, or bending the clips to make them hold better. Enter Sal Herman. a suspender aficionado (yes, there are many!). Driven by the frustration of inefficient clips that constantly let go, Herman applied a little American ingenuity to create a solution . . . the "No-Slip Suspender Clip". Thus was born the Hold-Up Suspender Company.

For the consumer, the No-Slip Suspender Clip means a lifetime guarantee of no more slipping, or bending clips, or worse yet, throwing away a perfectly good pair of suspenders. The patented design is based on one distinct difference - the addition of a center pin that works like a needle to lock into the waistband without cutting or tearing the fabric. The result, Herman says, is a clip that absolutely cannot slip.

For workers, sportsmen, or the casual wearer who rely on suspenders, the No-Slip suspender eliminates the annoying problem of clips that slip constantly from the slightest twist or pressure. The No-Slip also eliminates the need to "fix" the clips by bending them with pliers. We now have the original patented "finger clip" in a heavy duty JUMBO clip line. These are for our NEW -2x4- Outdoorsman and Contactor series suspenders with 2" wide straps and extra holding power no matter the load.

Herman believes his new suspenders will grab hold of the public as well as they hold onto a pair of pants. Once you try them there's no letting go. We are seeking new applications for our patented NO SLIP clip and you can post your ideas here and win a FREE pair of Holdups. Anyone interested in the Hold Up Suspender Co. story can contact Sal Herman, our president, at (800) 700-4515.

The PaperBoy is an equally exceptional effort, if not better. It is produced by a lone newshound, is very comprehensive and most importantly, it looks pretty. However even this labour of love is not quite up with ABYZ News Links, when it comes to displaying 'stalker like' obsession. This site demonstrates an almost desperate devotion to the tracking down and ordering of international news sources. You now can determine the National "spin" tatics... Headline News: NewsHub aggregates stories from a number of sites including CNN, BBC World, Fox, ABC, USA Today, and then throws them at you every 15 minutes, all in one convenient cyber place...so you can keep up on the news!

Is it a myth that girls wear these suspenders too?

Fact is that we learn from our Suspender Wearers Association (SWA) members that the gals not only wear them, but brag on them as a fashion statement. No kidding! These aren't just the Biker Girls, worrying like their men about cold breezes down the back of their gapping pants, but the real trendy ones seeking a new look on campus or the bar scene.
