  • How many sayings?

    From Ed Vance@1:2320/105 to Daryl Stout on Mon Jan 19 18:42:04 2026

    I rememberseeing Burma Shave signs as my dad was driving on roads.
    How many poems are there in your Burma Shave file?

    I am guessing the company had more than 366 poems on their signs.
    Thanks.

    Ed,

    I rememberseeing Burma Shave signs as my dad was driving on
    roads. How many poems are there in your Burma Shave file?

    Well, just one for each day of the year.

    I am guessing the company had more than 366 poems on their
    signs. Thanks.

    There are likely more. I got many of the items for the files from
    various websites.

    You can find more info on Burma Shave on Wikipedia.

    At one time, Pentrex (whose specialty is railroad related DVD's
    (they did VHS at one time, but no more), had a video on The Signs
    And Rhymes Of Burma Shave. It was very interesting.
