[A narrow tall advertisement in black and white inside a ruled border, set as a cream panel with a black field. The black field carries six marque names stacked in cream capitals, flush right: CHRISTOPHE, LAPIZE and ZEFAL in very large heavy capitals, SOLIBLOC and TIRE-STOP in smaller spaced capitals and AFA in bold capitals at the foot of the list. Below them a line drawing with hatched shading shows four accessories heaped together: at the left two tall slanted frame pumps, one with ZEFAL lettered along its upper barrel and a round tag reading AFA MADE IN FRANCE, the shorter pump carrying a small label whose lettering cannot be made out, and the barrels lettered ZEFAL PROCÉDÉ SOLIBLOC course and TORNADE PROCÉDÉ SOLIBLOC in outlined capitals; at the right a domed bicycle bell with a screw clamp for the handlebar; and across the foot a steel toe clip with a strap, its plate stamped CHRISTOPHE, with the strap buckle stamped Lapize and AFA. There is no firm address, no price and no artist signature.]

[This advertisement shares page 46 of L’Officiel du cycle with an advertisement for Favorit, held here as its own record.]
