L’ÉLITE DE SES AGENTS REGIONAUX
13. CHOISY-BIEN
9, Route de Choisy
(IVRY-s/Seine)
Il s’agit à la fois d’une agence importante et d’un dépôt. C’est là qu’il est possible aux multiples représentants de FOLLIS de la région parisienne de se réapprovisionner en pièces détachées. Il va de soi que l’activité de CHOISY-BIEN — admirablement placé [?] à la porte même de Paris — est de plus en plus intense et que, d’autre part, la raison sociale adoptée apparait [?] de jour en jour plus justifiée !
F. FOLLIS
10, 16, RUE DANTON
LYON
[A photograph of the Choisy-bien agency’s shop front, its name in large script across the fascia, with two people standing in the open doorway and mopeds and light motorcycles parked on the pavement in front, a Follis sign on the window and round Follis display signs at either end of the row. The advertisement sits in a round-cornered frame: the Follis name is reversed out of a black oval at the upper left above the headline, the agency’s number, name and address and a short paragraph about it, and the maker’s Lyon name and address are reversed out of a slanting black panel at the lower right.]
[This advertisement sits on page 22 of Le Cycle, below an article on Paul Barbier’s new hub.]
