The White Motor Company was an American company that manufactured automobiles and trucks from 1900 until 1980. The company was situated in Cleveland, Ohio. In addition to automobiles and trucks, the company also produced roller skates, lathes, sewing machines, etc. Thomas H. White was the owner of the company, which did not begin to manufacture automobiles until his son Rollin H. White began working on a Locomobile to improve its steam power. Rollin improved the coil system, patented his invention, and began manufacturing automobiles in a corner of his father’s shop. The first group of cars that came out of the shop in 1900 numbered 50. After World War I, the company stopped producing cars and began manufacturing trucks. The company was responsible for the production of the M3 Scout Car, the United States Army reconnaissance vehicle. The company, beginning in the 1930s, also produced buses.

This logo most likely stands for Congregational Sunday School, and more specifically to the Congregational Sunday-School and Publishing Society. This organization was founded in Boston during the early 1800s, and aimed to provide literature and teaching resources to all Congregational Sunday schools.

Sunday school is a Christian educational offering aimed at children and teenagers, and is usually affiliated with a particular church or parish. Although Sunday schools can be from any denomination, they are most strongly associated with Protestantism. Sunday schools trace their origin to the British publisher Robert Raikes, who was committed to prison reform. He believed that if children were given religious instruction every Sunday, they would be steered away from a life of crime. The first Sunday school opened in 1780, and after soon spreading to the United States, they would become an important component in Christian education.

The button is split in half with a black line and has an illustration of a bug outlined in black on each side. The bug on the right is more shaded in and slightly larger than the bug on the left. The background is light teal and the text written down the side of the button is black.

This button may be an illustration describing the popular IT phrase, "it's not a bug; it's a feature!" This phrase is jokingly used to refer to bugs in software programs that are tolerable and not easy/critical to fix. This illustration shows this by showing the "bug" side with a plain image of a bug and by showing the "feature" side with a more detailed bug image.

This Spanish exclamation of surprise was first popularized by the Madrid flamenco dancer and singer, María Antonia Vallejo Fernández also known as La Caramba, in the 1780s. She performed a type of short satirical song called a tonadilla and ended her performance by shouting "¡caramba!," giving her the nickname. A couple centuries later, Bart Simpson brought "¡Ay, caramba!" into modern pop culture on the still-running show, The Simpsons. These were his first words and they became one of his most well-know catchphrases after "Eat my shorts!"
