This 4-page station wagon brochure, that I think was printed in February of 1947, is a common one on eBay. It’s got a form number of 472-A-500. One clue to it’s early printing is the prominent use of the term ‘Jeep’, a term that disappeared from wagon advertisements by 1950.

1945 Article on Los Angeles County Jeep Patrols
The December 19, 1945, issue of the Los Angeles Times noted that the county sheriff’s department hired 85 deputies and purchased 25 jeeps to tackle a jump in criminal activity in the unincorporated parts of Los Angeles County. This may have been the largest and earliest attempt to employ jeeps by law enforcement in the US (Outside of the military of course).
