1. In all fairness, wasn't this a stunt similar to "Burma Shave?"
Edited on Thu Dec-03-09 04:44 PM by KansDem
Cars whizzing by on that highway will see the "S" before the "A," then see the "L" before the "E," so they would see "S-A-L-E"

It would be like presenting Dorothy Parker's famous assessment of martinis:

after four I'm under my host - After three I'm under the table, - Two at the very most. - I like to have a martini,


And now I'm thirsty for a cocktail and I still have two hours to go!

3. In all fairness I've seen that ad stunt many times at many dealerships.
They do that for the drivers on that side of the street so you don't see the E then the L then the A, then the S.

Nothing to see here.

4. It would work if the spacing was a lot more than 20 or 30 feet.
Edited on Thu Dec-03-09 04:50 PM by LiberalFighter
But since the view is such that all the letters would be seen in one glance. It wouldn't work as well.

And besides those Burma Shave signs had words not letters.
