Burma Shave
The first person to collect 900 empty Burma Shave jars and send them in got a free trip to Mars (Marz?), Germany.
There's a book, The Verse by the Side of the Road that not only lists the entire run but relates the story. They used to get local farmers to mount and care for the signs, keeping them clean and painted.
