Always loved to pore over the firework ads that only seemed to appear in Atlas comics, in the '50's.  That said, here's one from the BC of Detective Comics 16, 1937.  Notice the racist description in the yellow list, 8th item down.

Racist-based merchandise that compelled them enough to capitalize on in terms of business apparently, seeing as how they slapped on a 10 cent value listing on there.

What was the first comic book with advertisements? Famous Funnies #1, or something later?

The back of New Fun #1, cover dated February 1935, but on sale January 11 1935, features ads from Ralston:
