Old Advertising

 Old advertising was always entertainment when on a road trip.

The best were the Burma Shave signs. They came in a series of five or six

little signs, five or six little blurbs that told a story. 

 On the drive to visit family in neighboring town there was a row of these signs.
Everytime we drove by them The Old Farmer says look at these signs,
what do they say!~ And we would try to read them everytime.
Here is a selection of ones I found funny.
