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've seen this one in a couple of stores, not exactly vintage but still cute:

"Unattended children will be given espresso and a free kitten."

or sometimes a puppy.....

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
