Burma Shave Signs
On the road between Ash Fork and Seligman, the red and white signs are posted on both sides of the road. These signs are beautiful photo opportunities and are reminiscent of the well-known shaving foam brand from 1925. At that time these advertising signs were to be found first in Minnesota. Later everywhere along well-traveled roads all other the states.
Typically, six consecutive small signs were be posted along the edge of highways, spaced for sequential reading by passing motorists.
The last sign says: BURMA SHAVE.
