	In "THE COMPLETE UNABRIDGED SUPER TRIVIA ENCYCLOPEDIA" by Fred
L. Worth is the following information Burma-Shave signs.  I doubt if
it is a complete list.


	Roadside advertisements appearing (1925-1963) on small boards
spaced so they could be read sequentially by motorists driving by:

A peach			Does your husband		Don't take a curve
looks good		misbehave			at 60 per
with lots of fuzz	grunt and grumble		we hate to lose
but a man's no peach	rant and rave?			a customer
and never was		shoot the brute some		Burma-Shave
Burma-Shave		Burma-Shave

Every shaver		He played			Henry the Eighth
now can snore		a sax				Prince of Friskers
six more minutes	had no B. O.			lost five wives
then before	 	but his whiskers scratched	but kept
by using		so she let him go		his whiskers
Burma-Shave		Burma-Shave			Burma-Shave

Listen birds		My man				Past schoolhouses	
those signs cost	won't shave			take it slow
money			sez Hazel Huz			let the little
so roost a while but	but I should worry		shavers
don't get funny		Dora's does			grow
Burma-Shave		Burma-Shave			Burma-Shave

Rip a fender
off your car
send it in
for a half-pound jar
Burma-Shave

	Begun on Minnesota Highway 65.  Only four states never had the
signs (out of 48) New Mexico, Arizona, Massachusetts, Nevada.
