[A wide, shallow advertisement. At the left, a square halftone photograph shows the odometer close up, mounted on a fork beside the wheel hub: a cylindrical counter showing “96253” in its window, a “LG” monogram on its end cap and a striker below. The text at the right is set between rules, the heading in bold italic, the name in very large heavy capitals, the firm’s address and telephone along the foot. The last digit of the telephone number touches the vertical rule at the right edge. There is no signature or agency mark.]
[This advertisement shares page 142 of L’Officiel du cycle with advertisements for Cepema, Stefanox, F.B.L., Brasobloc and Marvel, each held here as its own record, and others for Monblason pennants, the Paramalgam repair compounds, Mottaz fuel tanks and the SACDA fuel gauge.]
