122. Ms. Goody Two Shoes!

______ ______ was a character created by Richard Outcault for his comic strip, Buster Brown. She was the sister of the title character, Buster Brown. In 1904, Outcault travelled to the St. Louis World's Fair and sold licenses to up to 200 companies to use the Buster Brown characters to advertise their products. Among them was the Brown Shoe Company, who later hired actors to tour the country, performing as the Buster Brown characters in theaters and stores. This strategy helped the Brown Shoe Company become the most prominently associated brand with the Buster Brown characters. The style of shoe Buster Brown and his sister wore came to be known by her name.

What popular style of shoes?
