[A ruled advertisement in a single-line frame whose top edge is broken by a rounded black box holding the name “GNUTTI” in heavy black capitals. Below it come the headline in bold spaced capitals, a script word “Présente….” and four lines of roman and condensed capitals set centered. Across the middle a line drawing with fine shading shows a front hub with a quick-release skewer: the long axle runs between two perforated flanges, an eagle emblem sits on the barrel, a conical end nut stands at the left, and at the right a lever with the name “GNUTTI” in relief on its arm curves over a rounded end cap. A monogram of the interlaced letters D and R stands below the lever, to the right of the hub, and reads as the signature of Daniel Rebour. Beneath the drawing a script “et son” and the quick-release hub line are set in roman capitals, with an italic license line under a short rule. The importer’s name, street address and city stand in bold and roman type across the foot, and the telephone line and “(SEINE)” sit below it at either side.]
