My father's career was as a traveling salesman, driving five states selling electrical equipment to local utilities. So when our family went on vacation, it was by car, not by plane. We drove from Minnesota to visit family in Pennsylvania or Florida or Nevada, and on those seemingly endless days on the highway (most of them in the pre-interstate highway era) we played games, including the "alphabet game" which required one to find the letters of the alphabet consecutively on signs, license plates, etc. Those with similar memories will appreciate this modern billboard posted by the Sign Appreciation Society on Facebook.
At some future time I want to write a post about Burma Shave signs.
