They are all great jingles.
I remember Dixie Peach Pomade, Brylcreem, Vitalis but not Burma Shave, I guess that is why I'm still here posting.

Interesting note (or maybe not), when I was working in Batavia, IL I needed some shave soap and I went to the drugstore to buy some and they had Burma Shave shave soap. I bought it and used it, but later I looked online for Burma Shave and it was one of the first canned shaving creams. Back in the '50s they didn't make cakes of shaving soap, they made canned shaving cream.

Sure am old enough to remember those Burma Shave signs. It was a great time-consumer on the drive to our grandmother's place. I do not know how many dozens sets of signs we counted on that 150-mile drive. Rocking-chair memories now.....

I have a book about the Howdy Doody show and the cast. It seems that Princess was very accommodating to the cast members, no matter what time of the year it was.

We saw a lot of Burma Shave signs while crossing the country twice in the
1960s.
One I recall is:
Though we sold
A million others
We just can't sell
Those cough drop brothers.
Burma Shave.
The cough drop brothers were the Smith Brothers, I think.
They used to come in a small white box with pics of two guys with big black beards on the
front.

I am old enough to have used it. Do they still sell it?
In 1944 I went from Asheville NC to Seattle WA, and the Burma Shave signs kept me amused the whole time. I was 11 at the time. Sorry I don' remember any of the verses, but that's not the only thing I've forgotten.
Wall Drug
If you lived in the Midwest and remember Burma Shave, you probably recall Wall Drug. Reading the Burma shave signs was great fun.
The really depressing signs were from an auto insurance company that posted signs with an "X" where someone was killed. I recall a spot with 5 or 6 signs where a bad one happened.
