John Brunswick from Switzerland came to U.S.A. in 1845 and established a business in Ohio making carriages and billiard tables. In 1874 a merger gave the company a new name of Brunswick and Balke Company and in 1884 it became Brunswick, Balke and Collender. In the early 20th century the company made other products including phonograph records and discs and in 1930 this section of the company was sold to Warner Brothers. Today it is known as the Brunswick Corporation. The patent for these cleaning pads was taken out in 1922.

Village Roadshow’s story begins in 1954 and tracks the evolution of Australia’s modern entertainment industry. The company grew from a single suburban drive‑in, to a multinational force in cinemas, film distribution, production, radio, and theme parks. In 1954, Roc Kirby, opened one of Australia’s first drive‑ins in Croydon, Melbourne, adopting the name Village from the nearby “Croydon Village” shopping strip. By the late 1950s, the company operates 27 drive‑ins, then expands into traditional “hard‑top” cinemas. In 1967, Roadshow Distributors entered the film distribution. In 1971, the group begins film production via Hexagon Productions and forms a long‑term distribution partnership with Warner Bros. in Australia.Roc Kirby and his sons lived in Albion and Sunshine.2332.01 - Newspaper Article The Age 30 May 1998 Australia shows way forward on big screen 2332.02 - Newspaper Article Village Takes Show On Road 2332.03 -Newspaper Article November 1999 village chief pay row 2332.04 - Newspaper Article Village Shake Up Amid Probe Of $1m Claimvillage roadshow, robert kirby, roscoe "roc" hubert kirby
