Signs, back in the day

[Bob Bidonde]

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.

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:

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