----- Burmashave

These signs appeared along roadsides each line on a separate sign spaced out every 50 yards so you could read each one. This one was near my home between Middletown and Elizabethtown PA.

I do. Early 60's traveling through Florida. Copy&Paste>>>
They used rural roads. The signs were innocuous. Their forte was a little catchy phrase spread along the road. It was cheap and easier than billboards.
A little paint, and whatever kept the farmer happy to have a jingle along his fence line.
You didn't see one they were series four or six in row, a couple of car lengths apart. They were just like six or eight feet tall.
Always ended with the exclaimated "BURMA SHAVE!"
These were the days before the interstate highway system.
