Swaledale, IA Burma Shave Sign Brothers - Orv and Dale Caspers unknown Signage

Information: -A plump woman -And a big barn -Never done any -A man harm -Burma Shave Orv Caspers and his brother Dale are two old Iowa farmers who remember how much fun it was as kids reading those Burma Shave signs that used to pop up along the roads. So they've taken to painting their own poetry, like the example above, on signs around Swaledale. "All you need is a hammer and a nail"—that's the way Orv explained it. And the local folks don't hardly raise an eyebrow anymore, whether the topic is politics and religion or just plain whimsy. Rare Visions and Roadside Revelations
