This is an old Letraset font called Beans. It was released in 1973 and was dropped from the catalog after a couple of years. Also: the “B” in the sample is an inverted “P”.

Dan Solo showed it in the Solotype Catalog as ’Porky’ (p. 49), but it is shown in his ’Art Deco Fonts’ Dover book as ’Beans’. (The Solotype catalog sample lettering is the phrase ’PORK AND BEANS’)
