Description
Burma Shave signs once dotted America's roadsides, entertaining drivers with catchy sales jingles. The successful ad campaign--launched in 1925--corresponded with the development of Route 66. The two institutions became pop culture icons.
I spotted a series of Route 66 themed Burma Shave signs along the historic Mother Road entering McLean, Texas. My original photographic image has been processed to create a vintage feel.
