BOURRIN Fres, 14, r. Basse-des-Rives, St-Etienne

[A full ruled advertisement in black and white, framed by a thin black rule. “ROUE LIBRE “HIRY’S”” runs across the head in large black roman capitals, with two centered lines of bold italic capitals beneath it, “TRIPLE ET QUADRUPLE DENTURE” and “A ROULEMENT ANNULAIRE”. Most of the panel is one large line engraving, finely hatched and shaded, of a freewheel cluster seen at a three-quarter angle: four toothed sprockets stacked in graduated sizes with deep curved tooth roots, and on the outer face a flat collar with a large oval bore. Small capital lettering is engraved round the collar: “HIRY’S” in quotation marks, “S.G.D.G”, “BREVETÉ” and “DEMONTAGE” beside a curved arrow. Two lines of spaced bold sans-serif capitals are set sideways and read from bottom to top, “BREVETÉE S. G. D. G.” along the left edge and “ET DANS TOUS LES PAYS” along the right edge. The firm line sits along the foot in heavy roman type, with the abbreviation Fres set as small raised letters. No artist signature is visible.]
