VW ad 1962 or thereabouts: Mr Jones and Mr Krempler are neighbors. They each had 3 thousand dollars. With his money Mr Jones bought a $3000 car. With his money Mr Krempler bought a new refrigerator, a new range, a new washer, a new dryer, 2 new TV sets, and a brand new Volkswagen. Now Mr Jones faces the age-old dilemma: keeping up with the Kremplers. Brilliant. So great I remember it almost verbatim to this day.
