Les cycles et cyclomoteurs « Le CHEMINEAU »

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. Forty-two years of experience have made the reputation of the excellent Saint-Étienne marque Le Chemineau. It has worked well for the cycle industry, since its likable director, Joanny Panel, is the “père du dérailleur”, a title of which he may justly be proud. The writer is pleased to pay homage to him; the sentence as printed reads “à ce Tour de France 1912” and goes on to say that he continues to set an example in the great cyclotouring events. The classic Journée Chemineau is, moreover, among the great national events. The marque also builds a cyclomoteur of perfect elegance that should draw attention. The many visitors to the Salon will meet again at the Le Chemineau stand, where they will have every opportunity to admire the models M. Joanny Panel will show them. No stand number is printed.]
