Billboards: Traditional Advertisement in America
Long before advertisements could be broadcasted through televisions in the comfort of your own home, many years before advertisements could be made through a tune or jingle on the radio, advertising was and is still done today through the words and pictures on a billboard. The history of billboards has been traced all the way back to cave drawings in the city of Jeffers, Minnesota (Hull 56). This particular cave drawing was actually intended to be a warning sign rather than an advertising sign. It cautioned other cave dwellers that they should be aware of falling rocks in the path ahead.

These types of billboards promote danger, dangerous substances, or hatred indirectly, instead of warning people about it.
