Unintended Consequences
Though Burma-Vita didn’t intentionally push the value of learning to read, the signs did help. Amos D. Ewing, of Medicine Park, Oklahoma, says, “I went to country school where reading material was hard to come by. The teachers copied Burma-Shave signs on flash cards to teach us how to read. And it made learning fun.” When Buck Buchanan, of Boyd, Texas, was asked on the first day of school how he knew to read so well, he said that he learned to read using Burma-Shave signs. “There was never any doubt in my mind where I acquired that knowledge. . . It came from staring through the dust-covered windshield of an old Model T, as Mom and I read those signs together.”
