The sign read: “Will the last person leaving Seattle please turn out the lights!”

In today’s technology-loaded advertising environment, the same message would likely be wirelessly directed to motorists’ iPhones which now, with utilitarian applications, could simply tap their mobile devices and carry turn off the city’s lights without a hitch.

What a difference 40 years has made in the lives of advertising professionals. The Burma Shave road signs are history. Digital rules! Read full story:
