Well, yes and no.  The ads on the dust sleeves and back covers were
usually for other releases on that label.  For example, a Carpenters
album on A&M would have ads for Tijuana Brass albums on A&M, but not for
makeup and clothing, etc.  

Occasionally you'd see an ad for something like a record cleaner, which
was again related to the item purchased (a record), not something
totally unrelated.
