Burma Shave logo

Some guy whom pushes...his automobile wide open...is maybe not thinkin'...heis only hopin'.

Funny roadside verses such as this one dotted outlying highways across the country from 1930s through the early '60s. Each set showcased short outlines on five or six individual posts become read in series - ending utilizing the flourished logo design of Burma-Shave on the final indication. As highways speeds increased and interstates crisscrossed the country, they passed the wayside.

In April 2010, we first-told you about our intend to restore Burma-Shave indications to Iowa. Our objective was to erect one set of these indications in all of Iowa's 99 counties, each featuring the original jingles...with one small difference: the past sign will say Our Iowa.

Three many years later, we came across that objective...all 99 counties have signs installed!

Recently, KCCI Information 8 did an account from the indications on their news tv show. Click the links below to look at on the web.

In little cities...things were therefore tame...we even knew...the puppies by name.

Take along a copy of our Directory of Iowa's most useful Ma & Pa Restaurants while searching for the single set of indications in each county, and employ the $5-off coupons to consume at these diners all as you go along. You can purchase one or by phoning 515-232-0075.

That'd be a difficult day at top - great views, great enjoyable and great food!
