Burma Shave Signs
For those who never saw any of the BurmaShave signs, here is a
quick lesson in our history of the 1930's and '40's.

Before there were interstates, when everyone drove the old 2
lane roads,


BurmaShave 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 BurmaShave, a
popular shaving cream


Here are more of the actual signs:

DON'T STICK YOUR ELBOW

OUT SO FAR

IT MAY GO HOME

IN ANOTHER CAR.

BURMASHAVE
