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

Have not found a font that is a close match to this English style textura.
For a very approximate substitute you could use Amador, especially for the lower case.

SlimFit is not an exact match, but could be used as a fairly close substitute without any editing. Has a serifed _I_
The plain version is O.K. but the fill from SlimFit College is closer -- if you know how to get rid of the framing outline.

At 500%, screen grab, clipped.
Good digging
Can't say for certain if it is in fact Wendy, but can't spot any obvious discrepancies.

I have not found a chamfered font in this weight, including Jersey M54, that is not significantly wider than REPURPOSE DETROIT
Reduce the width of Jersey M54 by clipping out the middle portion and it would look similar. Add the serifs to _I_
Note these letters were prepared some time ago for another purpose and show a few minor modifications other than the middle clip.
As for Muncie, it's narrow but too light and has differences inb style.

Note that _Q_ is from another font, or is custom

I agree with the Hoefler Didot as a close substitute for Vogue's proprietary version.
The 42pt master has slightly thicker hairlines than the 64pt or 96pt.
DietDidot Bold is also o.k. as a substitute.

Looks like custom lettering.
Sugargirl is similar, at least for the _t_, but is NOT THE FONT

If the hairline strokes and serifs on Onyx, the Bitstream version not the Monotype/Adobe one, were made thicker. it would work as a VERY approximate substitute
Suggested font: Onyx
Custom.
Suzee FY is almost, but not quite, a match for _ammy_, not including the flourish for _y_
