From 1925 through 1963, Burma Shave advertising signs appeared next to highways
all across the United States. There were always four or five signs in a row containing
pieces of a rhyme, followed by a final sign that read “Burma Shave.” For example,
one set of signs that has been preserved by the Smithsonian Institution reads as
follows:
Shaving brushes
You’ ll soon see ’em
On a shelf
In some museum
Burma Shave
Find a classic Burma Shave rhyme on the Web. Write, compile, and test a class that
produces a series of four dialog boxes so that each displays one line of a Burma
Shave slogan in turn. Save the class as BurmaShave.java

import javax.swing.*;

public class BurmaShave {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        String line1="Shaving brushes";
        String line2="you'll soon see 'em";
        String line3="on a shelf";
        String line4="in a museum";
        String line5="Burma Shave";
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,line1);
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,line2);
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,line3);
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,line4);
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,line5);

    }
}

Explanation

The statement describes a type of advertising that was prevalent in the United States from 1925 to 1963. Burma Shave was a brand of shaving cream that used a series of road signs to advertise its products. These signs were placed alongside highways and consisted of four or five signs in a row that contained pieces of a rhyme. The last sign in the series would always read “Burma Shave.”

One example of a Burma Shave rhyme has been preserved by the Smithsonian Institution and reads as follows: “Shaving brushes, you’ll soon see ’em, on a shelf, in some museum, Burma Shave.”

The statement then asks the reader to find a classic Burma Shave rhyme on the web and use it to write, compile, and test a Java class. The class should produce a series of four dialog boxes, each of which displays one line of a Burma Shave slogan. The class should be saved as “BurmaShave.java.”
