In the fall of 1925, young Allan Odell conceived the idea of using consecutive signs along the roadside.
...In 1963 the last signs were taken down, ending the most famous outdoor advertising venture ever.
The whole story is in this book, plus all the jingles used.
Why were the Burma-Shave jingles so universally loved? Because they were light-hearted nd humorous in hard times nd war times.
The signs are gone now, except for one set on permanent display a The Smithsonian. You can have them all, always in your own library with this book.
