Les fabrications de la SOCIÉTÉ BOURBONNAISE

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The notice says the Société Bourbonnaise des Applications de Fil métallique, whose main factory is at Cusset, near Vichy, specializes in making every article in which steel wire forms the framework. In principle only high-strength steel wire is used in this industry. The greatest care goes into choosing and checking the raw materials, which gives the house the quality and consistency of its products. Among these the notice names only its cables and sheathing (gaines) for the brakes and derailleurs of cycles, and continues on the next column.]

[Text only, the upper part of a notice set in a single column. The heading “Les fabrications de la SOCIÉTÉ BOURBONNAISE” stands across the top in bold roman type with the firm name in capitals. The notice follows in italic type with first-line indents, the firm name and the words Société and Applications set in upright roman. The notice breaks off mid-sentence at the foot of the crop and continues in a second image. No drawing, photograph or signature appears.]

[Text only, the closing lines of a notice. Two short paragraphs are set in italic type, the second beginning with a first-line indent, with the word Grower in upright roman. The first line picks up in mid-sentence from the previous image. No heading, drawing, photograph or signature appears.]
