    Ed,

    Daryl, A long time ago I read the Burma Shave page on
    Wikipedia. I am probably have it saved on my desktop box.
    Will look to see if its there when I am in that room later.

    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.

    Daryl,
    I finally found My ROUNDTUIT and looked on the desktop box at the Burna-Shave article on Wikipedia that I saved in 2017.

    On the second page in the EXAMPLES section it says "600 or so" signs.
    Also mentions a book "The Verse by the Side of the Road" by Frank Rowsome and Carl Rose. Stephen Greene Press , OCLC 656940 .

    It's an important part of America's history and nostalgia.
