About the event

Burma-Shave and Its Signs with Margaret Opsata

Patron favorite Margaret Opsata is back with her new presentation, Burma-Shave and Its Signs.

Burma-Shave was a brushless shaving cream invented accidentally at a family-run Minneapolis company. It became wildly popular, thanks to its humorous advertising signs that dotted roadsides across America from the 1930s to the 1960s. Join us for a nostalgic look back at this unique product and the improbable story of its success.

No registration required.
