reviewed on + 124 more book reviews


Burma Shave signs first appeared along the roadside in 1925 till the last signs were taken down in 1963. This book has 600 Burma Shave jingles with an index to the jingles. Plus an explantion of how these signs came about. Great book for anyone who remembers the Burma Shave signs or anyone who is saying the WHAT sign?
