Remember these? For those who never
saw the Burma Shave signs, here is a
quick lesson in our history of the 1930's and '40's. Before the
Interstates,
when everyone drove the old 2 lane roads, Burma Shave signs
would be posted all over the countryside in farmers'
fields. They were small red signs with white letters.
Five signs, about 100 feet apart, each containing 1 line of a
4 line couplet......and the obligatory 5th sign advertising Burma
Shave, a
popular shaving cream.
