[A full-page advertisement in black on cream, divided down the middle by a vertical dashed rule. At the upper left “béquille” is written in a large brush script; at the upper right “ALUVAC” stands in heavy sans-serif capitals inside a round-cornered double-ruled frame laid over a solid black shadow block. The left half holds one large pen drawing of the kickstand alone, its clamp plate with a stippled grip face and a knurled screw at the top, the cast body lettered “ALUVAC” and the long bent leg finished with fine hatching; it is signed “Rebour” in a narrow slanted cartouche beside the leg near its foot. The right half holds three smaller pen drawings of the stand mounted at a bicycle’s bottom bracket, each with its caption in small sans-serif capitals to the left: the first clamped on with the leg folded back, the second fixed by a brazed plate with the leg folded back and the third swung down to hold the bicycle up. On the drawn stands the body plate reads “ALUVAC” and the leg is stamped “MADE IN FRANCE.” Each inset is signed by Daniel Rebour: a “DR” monogram beside the first, “Rebour” boxed in a narrow slanted cartouche beside the second and a light cursive “Rebour” written diagonally beside a frame tube in the third. “moulée sous pression” runs across the foot in a loose brush script. A solid black band at the bottom carries the maker, agent, address and telephone line in reversed cream sans-serif capitals, with the closing line in small lowercase.]
