Yes, I am still on the lookout for the specific ad I described. (George) Thomas found a related ad in the Feb75 issue, as above, HOWEVER, when I ordered that issue from NatGeo, this is the cover and the ad on the inside back cover. This confirms what I've concluded: the same issue was sent out with a variety of advertising contents. The ad above is obviously part of the same advertising campaign, but with a completely different graphic layout. I ordered all the back issues from Jun74 to Feb75 and none of them had the ad I'm looking for, nor the one that George sent. I am keenly interested in acquiring an issue with the ad I saw in Feb75. Unfortunately, I don't know what issue it was in, but it had to be within that window of fall 1974 or Jan-Feb 1975.
After getting the Feb74 issue with a totally different ad, I gave up and resolved to be content with the "sister" ad. You mention selling your collection...you wouldn't "happen" to have what I'm looking for, would you?

Last page before the back cover to the February 1975 issue.
