Burma-Shave

Had you ever heard of Burma-Shave signs?

We hadn't really, until recently. They were little red signs which were placed in rows along the roads in the 30's - 50's, etc., using a jingle to advertise its revolutionary tube shaving cream. It was a creative and fun way to advertise their product -- and provided amusement for travelers in those days. ;) Anyway, we got a lot of laughs recently from reading some of their old slogans, and I thought it'd be fun to post some here! :)

While most of the signs dealt with shaving (naturally!), some had a safe-driving theme. :)
