Burma Shave Ads

Thanks to the reader that sent me a few Burma Shave ads.

For those of you that do not remember, Burma Shave was a brushless shaving cream sold in the early 20s and 30s. I remember them as quite entertaining as a child as we traveled the highways. Burma Shave opted to advertise it a different way, as they typically chose to post four to six signs along the highways containing verses advertising their product.

I thought it might be fun to start our memories with a different slogan for the next couple of issues so #1: Only a convict likes to be stopped in the middle of a sentence. The great thing was you could look forward to seeing an entirely different ad some miles down the highway.
