[A ruled advertisement in black and white with a fine dotted screen over the whole ground. The heading “PLAQUES DE POLICE ET LANTERNES” is set in heavy roman capitals at the upper right. Three black number plates, each showing the figures “51 84” over “AU 75” in white, are drawn across the left and center: the first has a lamp housing of chrome-like metal fixed on its upper edge, the second has a long oblong lamp on top, and the third is tilted and carries a round lamp on a short stem. Each plate sits on a mudguard outline, and curved speed lines sweep behind them. At the lower left “Pour motos et vélos” is written in a brushed script. At the right a white circle holds the firm’s name, “Ets” in script above “H. ARNAUD” in tall condensed capitals, over a black lower segment with the trade description in white capitals. A white rounded strip along the foot carries the address and telephone number. The first digit of the street number is partly lost at the left edge of the strip. No signature is visible.]

[This advertisement shares page 44 of L’Officiel du cycle with advertisements for Douvisy and Choillot, each held here as its own record, and others for Carpenteur, Duplex, Antivol GB, Cellier et Pouly and Le Meuble Métallique à tiroirs P.F..]
