Anyone remember Burma-Shave signs? (Just us, huh!?) Well, they looked like this:
The Burma-Vita Company promoted their brushless shaving cream by posting a set of signs together along roadsides—all fun to read, the campaign hugely successful! This started in 1925 (just nine years following Congress’ creation of the National Park Service, we might add) and ended in the mid-1960’s.
I will share with you here on my blog a few of my own Burma-Shave style poems. Here is my first!
Recognize this pattern?
Fun on trips they gave!
Signs by the roadside,
On last sign they’d rave . . .
Burma-Shave!
