{Chrysler 300} Do You Remember?




Hi To All,

Spring is coming soon.  

I know everyone is too young! Good reading anyway!

 



Do you remember these roadside signs?


FOLLOW THE BEAUTIFUL BRUTE

300 J

OR GET

OUT OF THE WAY.  Burma Shave


I'm sure that Burma Shave actually saved some lives.  People laughed
and then were more careful!  It was a REAL "service" to America, even
though it was an advertisement; and it was one of the RARE "really
useful" ones!

For those who never saw any of the Burma Shave signs, here is a quick
lesson in our history of the 1930's and '40's.

Before there were interstates, when everyone drove the old two-lane
roads, Burma Shave signs would be posted all over the countryside in
farmers' fields.  They were small red signs with white letters--five
signs, about 100 feet apart, each containing 1 line of a 4-line
couplet… and the obligatory 5th sign advertising Burma Shave, a
popular shaving cream.
