Abstract: A lace holder for retaining the laces of footwear consisting of a pair of orthogonal, thin, elongated, flaccid members connected one to the other at their central regions. Hook portions and loop portions of a hook-and-loop fastening system are selectively disposed proximate the ends of each of the pair of orthogonal, thin, elongated, flaccid members. One of the thin, elongated, flaccid members is placed around a group of the laces of the footwear and its ends secured to each other by compatible hook and loop portions. Once the laces are tied, the ends of the laces are then retained by encircling them with the second of the thin, elongated, flaccid members. Excess lengths of laces are then secured. Indicia may be placed on one or more of the pair of orthogonal, thin, elongated, flaccid members in such a manner so as to be visible once the lace ends are secured.

Abstract: Apparatus for displaying information from the inside of a vehicle consisting of a pair of horizontal members attached to end brackets mounted on the inside of a window in the vehicle utilizing suction.
