Treat him right
But if he'd
Shave

Every shaver
Now can snore
Six more minutes
Than before
By using

And Hirohito
Look as sick as
Old Benito
Buy defense bonds

Misbehave

Grunt and grumble

Rant and rave

Shoot the brute some

BURMA-SHAVE!

When the stork

Delivers a boy

Our whole

Darn factory

Jumps for joyToday's jingle is from 1951!

My cheek

Says she

Feels smooth as satin

Ha! Ha! Says he

That's mine you're pattin'

Cheer up face
The war is past

Of shave

They put
The quart
Before the hearse

The train
And tried to duck it
Kicked first the gas

So nice

To soak
Your grip

And roses
Whiskers

He had the ring
He had the flat
But she felt his chin
And that
Was that
BURMA-SHAVE!

REMEMBER 1955 ?

REMEMBER 1955 ?
If they raise the minimum wage to $1.00,
nobody will be able to hire outside help at the store.



When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 25 cents a gallon.
Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage.


I'm afraid to send my kids to the movies any more. Ever since they let Clark Gable get by with saying DAMN in GONE WITH THE WIND, it seems every new movie has either HELL or DAMN in it.
I read the other day where some scientist thinks it's possible to put a man on the moon by the end of the century. They even have some fellows they call astronauts preparing for it down in Texas.
Did you see where some baseball player
just signed a contract for $50,000 a year just to play ball? It wouldn't surprise me if someday they'll be making more than the President.



I never thought I'd see the day all our
kitchen appliances would be electric. They're even making electric
typewriters now.



It's too bad things are so tough nowadays. I see where a few married women are having to work to make ends meet.


It won't be long before young couples are going to have to hire someone to watch their kids so they can both work.


I'm afraid the Volkswagen car is going to
open the door to a whole lot of foreign business.


Thank goodness I won't live to see the day when the
government takes half our income in taxes.  I sometimes wonder
if we are electing the best people to government.


The fast food restaurant is convenient for a quick meal,
but I seriously doubt they will ever catch on.



There is no sense going on short trips anymore for a weekend.
It costs nearly $2.00 a night to stay in a hotel.


No one can afford to be sick anymore.
At $15.00 a day in the hospital, it's too rich for my blood.



If they think I'll pay 30 cents for a haircut, Forget it.
