Burma Shave Sign

Why Does A Chicken
Cross The Street?
She Sees A Guy
She'd Like To Meet
Burma Shave
When I was a child we didn't go many places that we had to travel on a highway but when we went to Grandpa Gaddys we traveled highway 62 and 65. Along the way were these small signs post several yards apart and I would read them as we traveled the road.
They were advertisement in the most simple form. Does anyone remember the advertisement on the side of barns? The ones I remember were tobacco advertisement.

The little signs were the best ones. Now it is flashing neon!
All ads now are over bearing. If you watch TV, the advertisment comes on the the sound is so loud
it about burst your ear drums. What happened to subtle hints?
