Les cycles d’enfants BABY-STAR
[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The Manufacture Nord et Loire, of Saint-Étienne, presents models of extensible children’s bicycles with mixed frames. One of these machines is usable from two to eight years of age, and the model is built with pneumatic tires and ball bearings. Another model, usable from five to eleven years, corresponds to eight models of the usual sizes; it is a true bicycle, delivered with two brakes and all equipment. The firm also makes de luxe trottinettes and strong trailers in steel tube (pneumatic tires and ball bearings).]
[A firm notice in the magazine’s own column, text only, set in serif roman type with a few words in italic (Manufacture Nord et Loire, extensibles) under a short bold sans-serif heading aligned at the right. No drawing, photograph, signature or agency mark appears. The first and last letters of several lines are slightly cut at the edges of the crop.]
