Thread Name: Jingles you remember.
Subject: RE: Jingles you remember.
Here's one that bubbled to the surface of my mind recently:

Get Top Value Stamps where you shop!
Get Top Value Stamps where you buy!
Get top value gifts for the stamps that you save,
get Top Value Stamps (they're just like gold!)
and save, save, save!

and after the jingle concluded, a voice with a broad, fake Scottish accent would say "They'rrrrrrre Thrrrifty!'

Top Value Stamps were trading stamps that you would get when you shopped at certain stores. When you had saved enough stamps, you could redeem them for merchandise. I still have a hatchet that I got with the stamps, back in the sixties.

This was in Washington D.C. The other brand of trading stamp that we had was S&H Green Stamps, but we were a "Top Value family".
