70 years ago this week, in the May 26, 1947 SPEAKING OF PICTURES - LIFE featured a set of photos that “could easily be the answer to a lazy housewife’s dream.” The brushes were created by the Los Angeles Brush Manufacturing Corporation and according to LIFE, the catalog of brushes became a classic. This image opened the story with the following caption: “New back brush lets bather see just what she is up to.” (Allan Grant—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #thisweekinLIFE #curiosities #1940s

From a 1951 unpublished photo essay about Nipper the corn eating cat. According to the notes in our archives, “Nipper is a large, orange cat of no particularly distinguished lineage. In fact his owner, Dorothy Brinn, describes him as "just a cat” — who has an uncontrollable enthusiasm for eating buttered corn on the cob.“ Nipper is pictured here enjoying his favorite snack at home on the kitchen table.

Very few non-violent civil disobedience tactics of the late 1950s and early 1960s were as brilliantly simple in conception and as effective in execution as the sit-ins that rocked cities and towns from Texas and Oklahoma to Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina and beyond. Some sit-ins — at lunch counters, state houses and other public and private venues — were more confrontational than others; some lasted longer than others; some were more high-profile than others. But all of them required a certain kind of courage and a communal willingness to sacrifice that were hallmarks of the Civil Rights Movement in America from the very first. Pictured here is an outtake from the Sept. 19, 1960 feature on Civil Rights - a peaceful protest in Petersburg, Va. Standing front and center is student and civil rights activist Virginius B. Thorton. (Howard Sochurek—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images)
