Yes, it is common with Famous and Barr. More precisely, F&B low numbers 1-20 are nearly always found with the ad reading top to bottom like your Crawford. Numbers 21-33 I have only confirmed as reading the other way. Numbers 34-50 have some reading one way, some the other, and some reading either way (including Crawford). After that it's all bottom to top.
