A tribute to the historical Burma Shave road advertising signs. Burma-Shave was a brand of brushless shaving cream that was sold from 1925 to 1966. The company was notable for its innovative advertising campaign, which included rhymes posted all along midwestern U.S. roadways.

The Burma Shave folks were a wealth of information…
Thanks RG,
I use to really enjoy reading those road signs when we travelled around when I was a kid. That and the signs painted on the sides of barns.
LOL! Have not seen a reference to Burma Shave since the old Bugs Bunny cartoons. Did not see that one coming.
Thanks Howard,
Originally the last sign read Labatt Blue Label beer, but Sara had me change it to Burma Shave. She said every reference didn’t have to be Canadian and the real Burma Shave sign made more sense.
All that signage fun plus a glorious vista in the background!
