All or some
Chris,
As I understand it, it was a negotiation between the Mail Pouch rep and the farmer. Depended on exposure to the road, other barns close by, how bad mail Pouch wanted that particular barn side, and how much the farmer could wheedle out of them. It could vary from just the side with the sign to the whole barn.

Mail Pouch barns
There's a gal in Ohio who has made a hobby of photographing these old barns. Her website is:
http://www.thebarnjournal.org/stories/story010/
Has anyone other than me ever looked at an old barn like this and wondered if there might be a great vintage AS resting inside?

Memories
When I was about 9 or 10, I had an occasion to ride the 10 miles home from Harrisburg with my Grandfather and three other railroaders. There was no air conditioned cars then and the windows were wide open. The railroader in the right front seat chewed and he would spit a big gob out the window about once a minute. I was right behind him and I would get splattered every time he would spit. I soon learned to duck down on the floor whenever I saw his head turn toward the window.
When we got to my grandarents house, my Grandfather had a big time telling everyone about me looking like a jumping jack.

What a fun thread! Before we moved to Iowa, there were many summer drives from LA and MO to check on the farm. As a kid, I just didn't get the beauty of vast seas of corn and oats. Burma Shave signs made the journey much more fun. Ahhh, nostalgia!

so give a
wide birth
don't follow
too close, or
press to pass
and press
your luck.
cheers

I wish I could say that this was true.
It took forever
to polish my rig
now that it's done
I'm dancing a jig.
Rivet Shave
And another one along the same lines.
Now that the trailer
is nice and shiney
I need a beer
and a seat for my hiney.

inspired by another thread...
http://www.airforums.com/forum...25-post14.html
while in his chair
the rivet bucked
and what it grabbed
was just bad luck
this hurt much more
than any tack
so now he's lying
on his back
burma shave...
cheers

Arizona uses these type of signs to warn motorists of elk. One set goes like this:
I saw an Elk
Oh what a thrill
until I smashed it
on my grill
