   It's really too bad they packed that campaign in.  It was such a unique bit of   
   Americana to enjoy on t he nation's highways. . .   
      
   Maybe too much work to mnaintain. (A dirty over-weathered ad board isn't a   
   positive)   
      
   Google says:   
   1966   
   Burma Shave's sales dwindled, and Gillette bought the company in 1964. It ended   
   the ad campaign, and Burma Shave signs disappeared by 1966.   
      
   Sad. . .   
      
   &    
   Philip Morris sold the Burma-Shave brand name to American Safety Razor Company   
   in 1968, but the name remained dormant until 1997 when it was reintroduced for   
   a line of shaving cream, razors, and accessories. ... In recent years,   
   replica's of the Burma Shave signs can be found along Route 66 in Arizona.
