PANT HOLDER A WEST Vancouver company has invented a new way for men to keep their pants up and_ their shirts tucked in. Starlifters, invented by Edward Anderson of Starbrite Merchan- dising Services Ltd., are small clips that are attached to the sides of men’s pants. According (o Anderson, the new product serves a double purpose. By attaching them to each side of the pants and a fold of the shirt, they will pre- vent the pants from loosening and they will prevent the shirt from bulging out. “The (belt) buckle can now be loosened to a comfortable level without the pants constantly Needing adjusument,’’ says Ander- son. ‘‘Starlifters transfers the grip vertically to the shirt, instead of horizontally around the waist.”’ Starlifters have only been on the market since November and are being sold in the Eaton’s store in the Pacific Centre mall, Wood- ward’s at Oakridge, the Bay and Zellers in the Lynn Valley Centre.
