Looks like Granby Condensed, Stephenson Blake 1930. No digital. Was aka Art Grotesque. Reference Jaspert Encyclopaedia of Type 1970 p 285.

You could make a rough approximation by condensing a digital Granby http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/ef/granby/ or http://www.myfonts.com/fonts/efscangraphic/granby-sb/
