Those were all over in Kansas and someone copied the "little shavers" one and posted them on the telephone/power poles leading up to my elementary school, ~'61,'62,'63 ?, from both directions on the "busy" street that passed the school..... stayed up for years.
(Probably have to get permission from the city, go through the street department, the power company, the phone company, and sign some papers and apply for "a variance", these days ! People were humored and grateful back then.)

While my father drove from NJ to Yellowstone in '53 I kept myself amused by reading those signs. No interstates in those days.

Didn't get to travel as a kid, so don't remember the Burma signs. Instead of older than dirt, my son would tell me that "I grew up with The Flintstones".
I think of him every day, he was my fishing partner. I use his internet handle, DEEJAY. 7 years gone at age 42.

Yes I remember and I also remember an old gas station that had a glass 10 gallon bottle at the top of it that the attendant would crank the # of gallons up in it that you wanted to buy and it drained out the hose. But my Dad would never stop there to get gas.

BB...you know Marines, like BF, NEVER speak ill of others, especially a man of your advanced age??? Whatever comment he would make would be “trying” to help the older generation???
