Re: Signs, back in the day
There once was a deli at the Hillside Avenue railroad crossing in Williston Park on Long Island, and on the side of that building was this sign: "Go slow and see our shops. Go fast as see out cops!"
I of course tested both sentences with my 1954 Hot Rod Studebaker, my brother's Hot Rod 1943 Mercury, my 1953 Ford Tudor, my 1957 Chevy and lastly my 1931 Model "A" Coupe.

Re: Signs, back in the day
I never saw a Burma Shave sign in real life, but my favorite from the book is:
Altho insured Remember, Kiddo They don’t pay you They pay your widow Burma Shave They’re all listed here: http://burma-shave.org/jingles/

Re: Signs, back in the day
Katz’s Delicatessen in NYC put up a sign in WWII that remains today:
Send a salami To your boy in the Army
