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.
Pentrex...had a video on The Signs And Rhymes Of Burma Shave.
Ed,
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.

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

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

As a youngun I remember seeing Burma-Shave Signs alongside some
of the country roads my dad drove on.
