Burma-Shave |
|
1951 |
| From 1927 until 1963, the Burma-Shave shaving cream company ran an alternative to advertising by billboards. Instead they used six or so small signs each with a phrase on it, which formed a poem as you drove by them. A simple form as elegant as a Haiku, it became a road game to read them as you passed by, at the somewhat slower speeds back then. |
