Round Table Ladies Have Program On Signs And Jingles Mrs. James Alford took members of the Ladies of the Round Table at Syracuse on a trip in nostalgia at the March 13 meeting held in the home of Mrs. David Spray. From the book ’’Verse by the Side of the Road” by Frank Rowsome, Jr., Mrs. Alford told the story of the Burma Shave signs and jingles. She told of her interest as a child on journeys to Lake Wawasee for summer visits with the favorite pasttime of auto passengers to find and read as many of the road signs as possible. Signs advertising a gas station gave her the idea for other signs and jingles -With advertising approach. The plan started with a few signs on Road 65 in Minnesota and grew to 7,000 sets in 43 states at a cost of $200,000 annually by 1960. After surpassing such problems as jokesters pulling up signs, transplanting them, hunters shooting them and farm animals using them as back scratchers and breaking them, the signs had to yield to modern speed and super highways, another bit of nostalgia not to return.
