Here’s the mugshots of iconic ’50s pin-up model Bettie Page after being arrested in Hialeah, Florida. Bettie was arrested on October 28, 1972 when police answered a call placed by her ex-husband Harry Lear. When they arrived on scene that found him and Bettie out on the front yard with Bettie hitting Harry, repeatedly punching and verbally attacking him.
Apr. 28, 1941: The first electric animated sign, designed by American advertising executive Douglas Leigh, was placed on Broadway at 44th in New York City. The Camel cigarette ad puffed out five-foot-wide smoke rings of steam every four seconds. Over time, especially during wartime, the image was switched from soldiers to sailors to airmen. The sign remained on the Claridge Hotel until 1966, when the building was replaced. This photo is from the early 1950s.
One of many unsuccessful attempts at producing a low-cost car for local transportation. This one is by Colt Motors Corp. of Boston, Massachusetts, offered with a 1 cylinder air-cooled engine for $995. Photo taken at an auto show, perhaps New York, 1958.

In the summer of 1947, a woman walked into a drug store in Memphis, Tennessee, to drop off film to be developed when she realized she had one exposure left. She noticed a young boy outside the drugstore and asked him to pose with his bicycle so she could finish the roll and turn it in. Only years later did she realize that it was a 12-year-old Elvis Presley and gave the photo to a family friend of his.
