REMEMBER THIS ?

Long before electric razors and disposable blades were, men shaved with a lathered cream. A popular brand was Burma Shave cream.

The manufacturers of Burma Shave advertised by putting up signs along the nation's highways. Each sign had one line and as you traveled the highway, you would read another line every few seconds.

So here are some lines from Burma Shave signs:

Can have a million-dollar face,

2)Don't stick your elbow

3) IF A GIFT
YOU MUST CHOOSE
GIVE HIM ONE
HE'LL LIKE
TO USE
Burma Shave

4)IF OUR ROAD SIGNS
CATCH YOUR EYE
SMILE
BUT DON'T FORGET
TO BUY
Burma Shave

5)OUR FORTUNE
IS YOUR
SHAVEN FACE
IT'S OUR BEST
ADVERTISING SPACE
Burma Shave

OK OK I admit these all sound a bit out of date, but hey, they were probably written in the 1950's-1960's.
