The Saga of the Automobile and Burma-Shave

Prior to 1925, the Burma-Vita Company, owned by Clinton Odell, was marketing a liniment concocted from ingredients imported from the Malay Peninsula and Burma. However, sales were few and the company decided to switch to a product with more demand. The result was Burma Shave, a brushless shaving cream. Clinton’s son, Allan, thought that sales could be improved through an advertising campaign using wooden signs planted along the side of the roads. Clinton did not think much of the idea but he did give Allan $200 to try it out. Allan and brother Leonard were soon posting signs along America’s roads until 7000 signs stretched across United States highways. The signs were white on red in groups of four, five or six. The last sign always read Burma-Shave. As it turned out, Allan had a great idea because the company’s sales started to increase. The signs were particularly popular with families as they kept kids occupied on long trips.
