What's the matter, you didn't like Rumble Seats, My Aunt fell out at 15 MPH on a cinder road, it took hours to remove the cinders from her tail. Jim

Oh yeah, and those Burma Shave signs on the side of the road, with the humorous rhymes. I wish I could remember some of them. As a little kid in the back seat of the car, it was the only thing that made long trips somewhat bearable.

Those were good, I've seen them in the last 20 years somewhere. We used to travel southern Ill, route 1 at night, the sport was counting oil well gas vent fires. Jim

Paul,

EVERYTHING is on the Internet (almost).

Here's one link to the Burma Shave signs:

There are more links. Just do a search on "Burma Shave signs" (use the quote marks)

When I was about 6 or 7 Dad bought me this little pocket knife on a chain.......to help me on my garden raids. Still raiding the garden.......just as my kids did......only we call it 'grazing' now. I still do it, salt shaker & all......sometimes with my youngest grandaughter.....an apt student....at my heels.
I still take my revenge on the slugs when I find them, too.

All of you who have been waxing nostalgic for candies, etc. from your childhood:

They just may be found at:

Link to a Source for Old Goodies

If what you seek is not found here, ask them if they can find it. If the item is still being made, they may carry it.

My family has ordered from this catalog for years, and the satisfaction level has been very high. They have very good descriptions of their items.
