If you mean 1900s I recommend the 1904 Sears catalogue as a resource material. It shows what items were common in that period.

Just do research, but decide if this is a full immersion historical fiction or if you just want colour.

I noticed when reading archived newspapers that journalists often used vocabulary that would be considered more advanced than what is often found in the newspaper today.

Read works from the time and get a feel of the century, the changing prejudices and emerging struggles.
