Les cycles et cyclomoteurs FONLUPT

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. Under the active direction of M. Alfred Fonlupt, the Société des Cycles of the same name, at La Clayette (S.-et-L.), turns out monthly from 600 to 700 machines from its superb ultra-modern factory, which the magazine describes elsewhere in the issue.]

[Ebykr summary, after the first photograph. Among the marque’s fine productions the author singles out in particular the cyclotouring bicycle of the Montblanc type, called sturdy and elegant and shown in the photograph above.]

[Ebykr summary, after the second photograph. In children’s bicycles the Baby Sport model, whose picture is also given above, is called a bright and solid machine, usable by a boy or girl from 3 to 8 years old. Finally the author notes that the Cyclo-Sport Fonlupt Vap no. 1 cyclomoteur, described as a well-made machine, was described in the magazine’s Salon number.]

[A text column with two halftone photographs set in the body, each in a plain rectangle without a caption. The heading “Les cycles et cyclomoteurs FONLUPT” stands at the top in a sans-serif face with the marque name in capitals. The first photograph, at the upper center, shows a man’s cyclotouring bicycle standing on a low display plinth against a plain backdrop: drop-style handlebars with a small bag across the bars, a saddle bag hanging behind the saddle, full mudguards, a single chainring with a rear derailleur and a kickstand under the bottom bracket. The second photograph, lower down, shows a small child’s bicycle on a similar plinth, with a short straight frame, a long saddle post and handlebar stem, deep rounded mudguards, a chain case and a small stabilizing wheel at the rear. Body text is set in a roman serif with italic model names, and a row of three stars closes the notice. No signature or artist mark appears on either photograph.]
