A Back Cover Advertisement on an Article Reprint

A Back Cover Advertisement on an Article Reprint

The National Geographic Society has a long history of reprinting popular articles from the Geographic.  As a rule, these reprints are devoid of advertisements, the back covers are blank.  So far, I have only found one exception to this rule: the November 1936 article reprint "Trains of Today and Tomorrow".  There is an advertisement on the back cover of that reprint by the Association of American Railroads:

The ad was specifically made for this reprint.  The back cover ad for the original issue is a color photo of a glazed ham.  Yum.
