You'll want to calculate today's value of $189.50. I'm guessing that advertisement is mid-sixties. People wonder why Americans don't save money... I know a guy with 45 guitars, that is probably as smart an investment as anything.
$189.50 in 1965 had the same buying power as $1,370.67 in 2012.
Annual inflation over this period was 4.30%.
