I can't put a precise date on this advertisement, since the lamps in it range from 1936 up to at least 1941. The lamp in the very center at the bottom of the page is an Aladdin plain stem Washington drape, which was not produced until 1941. Since the other lamps are older, I would say the add was probably from 1941. The plain stem Washington drape was made from 1941 until 1953, but since the rest of the lamps run back to 1936 I'd guess the plain stem was the newest lamp in this group. It is also the featured lamp making me think it is fairly new.
