Posters of this type were generally produced by engraving lithography and similar processes that did not incorporate fonts.
There were some fonts from the era that are similar to the various lettering styles in the poster, but they would only approximate the letters.
The phrase _AT 6 PER CT. INTEREST AND LOW PRICES._ can be appoximated by Monotype Modern Condensed

_IOWA NEBRASKA_
No font, but the lettering style -- called concave in the 19th century -- was also used by others

Heron2001's suggestion of Britannic is a good substitute.
All it lacks is the concave stroke feature of the straight strokes in the image.

Grenoble TS Heavy is almost identical to Britannic Ultra but has more contrast in some of the curved strokes and thus is perhaps a trifle closer to the image.
