[Ebykr summary, continued. Since 1er octobre (1 October) the representation has been held by the Société A. F. C. O., of Villemomble (Seine), whose driving force is M. André Argaud. The magazine learned of the change from a letter by M. L. P. Lowenthal, “Export Manager” of la J. B. Brooks & Co. Ltd, and says the change followed the death of the late M. Camille Gompel.]
