In 1969, when Diamonair was founded, Cartier commissioned the simulated diamond manufacturer to replicate Elizabeth Taylor's 69.42 carat diamond to wear when she traveled, which was given to her by Sir Richard Burton. "Liz Loves It" refers to Elizabeth Taylor loving Diamonair's replica of her ring, which helped make Diamonair popular. 

Diamonair's simulated diamonds and other semi-precious stones are paired with fine metals such as white gold, yellow gold, and platinum, to create their luxury line of jewelry that is sold in Saks Fifth Avenue stores or on Diamonair's website.

The Simoniz Company came about in the early twentieth century almost in tandem with automobiles. The company was initially called Simons Manufacturing Company and their two products were Simons Cleaner and Simons Paste Wax, created for car finishes. By 1912, the company, which had been founded by George Simons and Elmer Rich, was taken over fully by Elmer and his brother, R.J. Rich. The company’s name changed to Simoniz Company and was located at 2121 Michigan Avenue in Chicago. Over the years, the company has taken on more products, such as floor waxes, during the 1940s and 1950s. The company was also known for their combination wash and wax products for vehicles. A commercial for this combination product from the 1960s was endorsed by the Three Stooges.

The "OO" on "GOODY" are illustrations of music records. Red and blue text on a yellow background.

Sam Gutowitz was the founder of a small record store in New York City in the late 1940s. Sam “Goody” Gutowitz became known for selling discounted records through mail-order sales. When the store became a chain in 1951, the name was changed to Sam Goody. In 1978, the company was acquired by Musicland and continued to grow. The company ultimately specialized in music, video, and video game sales. A commercial for Sam Goody from 1999 used animation and teen rebellion to market to youthful audiences. Sam Goody opened stores in the United Kingdom in the 1990s but left at the start of the 2000s as the business format was not as successful as it had been in the United States. The Sam Goody franchise was purchased by Trans World Entertainment in March of 2006 and all Sam Goody stores were eventually changed to the f.y.e. name.

Round-up clubs have been popular throughout the United States, particularly in the rural, country regions and the Southern states. Round-up clubs hold rodeo competitions, roping events, horse racing, horse shows, riding classes, and other events.  In the 1940s, many of these events drew spectators from throughout the county and provided a social gathering place for members of the community.

Roy Lichtenstein illustration of a woman with pinkish skin and yellow hair and a red,white and blue striped ribbon in her hair.

Roy Lichtenstein was an American artist who was extremely prolific in the 1960s in particular. Lichtenstein was considered a pop artist, among the likes of Jasper Johns and Andy Warhol. Lichtenstein’s most popular works are those that parody comic strip art. Although he has been considered an American pop artist, Lichtenstein labels his work as industrial painting. Lichtenstein was born and raised in Manhattan, but studied art at the Ohio State University with Hoyt L. Sherman. Lichtenstein’s work closely resembles the comic strips that he was emulating, but what he really wished to do create in the way that mass media was portraying art. Many critics questioned Lichtenstein’s approach as being unoriginal and empty. Lichtenstein moved away from using comic strips as inspiration by about 1965 when he started creating sculptures and other art works. Although Lichtenstein’s comic book art is widely accepted today there is still controversy surrounding them because the artist never credited or paid royalties to any of the original artists that he emulated.

The three men from Geneso (IL) who founded the company came to Rock Island in 1870 and officially founded the Rock Island Stove Company. At the company's height it sold  heaters all the way from Virginia to Oregon. 
Other promotional goods the company put out included pocket mirrors for make-up application (with the name of the company on them) and entire cookbooks in order to appeal to women through the 1890s - 1920s.
