Yes, there are. The basic style was essentially unchanged for 20 years, (from ~1915 through ~1935); so it may be difficult to even date the ads.
H.P. Snyder built Rollfast bikes for D.P. Harris hardware stores, and Hawthorne bikes for Montgomery Ward catalog sales.
In later years, the 28" single tube tire was replaced by the 26" balloon tire, but they might have still been available as non-catalog items.
It may be easier to think in terms of hard dates for production and distribution, and any transition period may just complicate things.
I believe in the 1920's Snyder picked-up the Great Western Manufacturing Co. or some of its assets, and similar in the 1930's with the Excelsior Cycle Co.
