Looks almost like a DeHavilland Rapid with two extra engines

my first thought was a deHavilland something or other based on the front
end. But the Rapide is a biplane ,. I also wondered where you got the two
extra engine bit, then I saw what looked like a pusher propeller at the back
of each engine. Did any real airplane ever have engines mounted back to
back ( as distinct from the C337 which are at each end of the cabin.?
Another poster said the Fokker F32 which does look similar to the drawing
except the cockpit does not come flush with the front of the aircraft..
Perhaps it does only exist in the artists mind.

Can anybody identify the aircraft in this picture?

The picture is a scan of the cover of an interesting booklet. It
contains tables of typical airfares for February 1930, an air route
map including an Embry-Riddle airline with one route through
Indianapolis and Chicago, and an ad for "the world's first air-minded
hotel". Many of the routes, even southern ones such as Alabama-New
Orleans, are listed as "not operating in winter"
