Les productions DUNOIS et Fils.

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The firm J. Dunois et Fils, maker of the “famous” Mistral pumps, has widened its range with new Mistral pumps for cyclomoteurs and scooters in 400 × 28 and 300 × 28, and for vélomoteurs and small motorcycles with the stirrup pump (« pompe à étrier ») 400 × 28; the model for big motorcycles with a removable metal handle still exists, of course, under no. 991. All these pumps are entirely of brass chromed over bright nickel and are guaranteed. In chain guards (« garde-chaînes ») the house has kept its Aludur models for men, women and children, made of die-stamped, polished manganese aluminum 20/10 thick, and the marque is more and more in demand. It makes aluminum and steel models for export, very covering and very long, always required by the Anglo-Saxon clientele, with a rear extension, and a new « Américain » model for the U.S.A.]

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The notice continues: new luggage racks (« porte-bagages ») and adaptable carrier plates have been born. For export, a luggage rack with black-enameled steel tube and spring-loaded parcel clip, German style, with or without a support stand and an adaptable plate for the Mobylette, and pretty luggage racks for children’s bicycles. New footrests (« repose-pieds ») for cyclomoteurs and for the Vélosolex and Mobylette have also been perfected, with a lamp holder (« porte-lampe ») for export. The notice adds a very extensive range of cyclomoteur engine covers (« capotages ») in 8/10 steel, curved and ribbed, of new and harmonious lines for all engines; metal tool boxes (« coffrets à outils ») adaptable to Mobylette frames and to all cyclomoteurs, in rectangular, round and oblong shapes; and finally the « Oké » pumps for builders (« Constructeurs »), solid, elegant and very attractively priced, also made for children. The writer advises a visit to stand no. 17 in the Cycle hall at the Palais des Expositions, Porte de Versailles, where many interesting articles are shown in addition to the main ones listed above.]
