You can tell that the ad dates from the early TV era, because there aren't any licensed TV cartoon characters except for the Disney menagerie, featured on the Mickey Mouse Club by then. It looks like the indifferent artist on this ad drew Mickey and Donald from memory!
There's plenty of generic costumes, though, such as Happy Clown, Devil, Bunny, Lion, Skeleton, and Gay Gypsy (no comment).

I wonder what an Extra Fancy included?
That's a good question. I guess Kresge's assumed your average Lorainite couldn't afford the extra buck, so they didn't bother to show Extra Fancy costumes in the ad!
