Burma-Shave signs may return in new campaign
The AP reports a possible revival of Burma-Shave dippity roadside signs as a television reintroduction. Philip Morris relinquished rights to the name and American Safety Razor Co. seeks the Burma-Shave trademark while recalling a 1920s 1960s era that featured six red signs with punny verses promoting shaving cream and safety.

Fewer Mistakes on Tax Returns Reported by IRS
The IRS says fewer errors on 1040A returns this year, with 4 percent so far and an average mid March refund of 489 dollars. Most taxpayers—about 75 to 80 percent—will receive refunds as 96 percent can use provided tax tables. The agency notes new three tables may cause confusion and urges caution with earned income credits and form blanks for dividends and interest.
