Another detailed picture from Shorpy:

Here's a slightly different version from the Library of Congress site:
And just about in the exact center of the picture you can zoom in to see the letters: QS and part of a T, below them the word: devote, An issue of QST !!
Actually there are only a few magazines that I recognize as still being published today: The New Yorker, The Atlantic, Harper's, The Billboard (I think it's just Billboard now and only covers music):

| Senor Wences lived to 103 and was on Ed Sullivan with the spinning plates act :) |
Presumably the QST issue on the newsstand was November 1938:

Unfortunately this is the QST issue that announces the death of Ross Hull, the editor of QST ! This was mentioned in passing before:

November 1938: in less than a year there would be war in Europe, in 3 years was the attack on Pearl Harbor, one of the first deaths due to television (Ross Hull, electrocution).
