Probably just a desire to
1. Outline the ad bits, and show that they are integrated in the middle of the text (aka it’s not a page of soup ad in the middle of the novel as you might assume).
2. Limit the risks of IP issues due to unauthorised reproduction even though this is just two pages out of a 350-odd pages novel (so almost certainly fair use).
