Description
For all you youngsters...Back in the fifties and early 60's (maybe), While traveling the highways you might come upon a row of spaced out small red signs (so you could read them as you sped past in your auto) along the edge of the roadway(two lane roads). They had individual parts on each sign like seen above. The last sign always read Burma Shave. They were meant for safety reminders but they were also advertisements for Burma Shave shave cream. This is a reminder of another disappeared piece of Americana.
Thanks to:
McGyver aka Vic Cook for two lane roadway

Nice to see someone using Roxie, well done... (I never saw them as we lived in a rural area and didn't travel much)
