Description: Belle and Sebastian were formed in Glasgow, Scotland in 1994 by Stuart Murdoch and Stuart David, both of whom had enrolled at Stow College's Beatbox programme for unemployed musicians.

Description: Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a 1966 American exploitation film directed by Russ Meyer and co-written by Meyer and Jack Moran. It follows three go-go dancers who embark on a spree of kidnapping and murder in the California desert. The film is known for its violence, provocative gender roles, and eminently quotable "dialogue to shame Raymond Chandler". It is also remembered for the performance of star Tura Satana, whose character Richard Corliss called "the most honest, maybe the one honest, portrayal in the Meyer canon". Faster, Pussycat! was a commercial and critical failure upon its initial release, but it's since become widely regarded as an important and influential film.

Description: WOO HOO Wooly Willy is here!! Wooly Willy is a toy in which metal filings are moved about with a magnetic wand to add features to a cartoon face.[1] The toy was originally manufactured in Smethport, Pennsylvania and was launched on the toy market in 1955. The brothers Donald and James Herzog developed Wooly Willy while working in the Smethport Specialty Company, their father's toy production company, in Smethport, Pennsylvania, United States. The company produced tops, horseshoe-shaped magnets, and other toys until the vacuum forming devices of the 1940s and 1950s allowed the company to manufacture air-tight containers of transparent plastic.

Description: Gay-Ola (originally Gleeola) was a bottled soft drink manufactured and sold by J. C. Wells' Gleeola Company, founded in August 1910 at 106-108 18th Street South. The firm was incorporated with $100,000 capital and equipment capable of producing 4,000 gallons of syrup per day.

The company distinguished itself, at a time when many soft drink products were being investigated for impurities or false advertising claims, with its commitment to the requirements of the Pure Food Act.
