Burma Shave Slogans
Sometimes an ad campaign can become more famous than the product that it sells. Case in point, the Burma Shave road signs of the 1950s. Many of the red signs had one sentence written on each sign, so it was kind of a game to read on road trips. The site features 126 slogans in all. One of the best ones is, "These signs we gladly dedicate to the men who've had no date of late - Burma Shave."
