Hercules bicycles - 1952

I came across the following half-page advertisement in an edition of
Punch dated 29 October 1952:

"For the roads of Britain and 133 other countries. 30 individually different models to meet the
requirements of the doctors and professional men of our own country, the lady-shopper or school-boy
or girl ... and 30 additional models to meet the curiously different climatic and road conditions
(which Hercules have studied) of 133 countries overseas".

Would the New Statesman, the Spectator or other similar magazine carry a half-page ad like
this today?
