I think Laz was the first to come up with the Burma Shave stuff on earlier fund-raising threads. Back about 4 or 5 years ago.

The little ditties were sprinkled all over the country, along the highway and byways. I remember them from the '30's. During the '40's they had them on the platforms of the Elevated street car stations in Chicago. Check this really great piece of Americana. I was there. BURMA SHAVE

1963 was the last year for new Burma Shave signs. No more red and white nuggets of roadside wisdom to ease the journey

Thanks for the link and history of Burma Shave

That's the year I was born .. plus my family didn't travel much. About the furthest we ever went was the Jersey Shore and that's only because my Aunt & Uncle owned a house down there

Don't remember Laz doing Burma Shave (he did the history of FR; now where did I put that link?), but I remember Nick Danger putting the animated Burma Shave signs out there.
