Les nouveautés GUTTACOLL

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. For more than fifty years the Firm Guttacoll has supplied the cycle and motorcycle market with a quality dissolution (rubber solution) whose reputation no longer needs to be made. It then studied and perfected the Zèbre brake pad (patin de frein), which brakes in all weathers without damaging the rim. Demand for the pad led the firm to put a large quantity of molds into production to meet the wholesale trade.]

[Ebykr summary, continued. Another interesting product is the Olux handlebar housing (gaine pour guidon). It interests not only racers and cyclotourists but every cyclist who wants to keep the machine well in hand, whether for the promenade (hands on top) or at the moment of effort (hands underneath). It is also very elegant and gives the machine a small touch of luxury. All these specialties, including the Tresolux handlebar braid (tresse pour guidon) and Guidéol and the Boyéol tape for sticking tubular tires (ruban Boyéol pour coller les boyaux), must of necessity appear on the shelves of the vélocistes-motocistes.]

[A text-only passage in one column. The heading is set flush right in heavy bold roman type with the firm name in capitals. The text beneath is justified italic roman type in separated paragraphs with indents; the firm name Guttacoll in upright small capitals and the product names Zèbre, Olux, Tresolux, Guidéol and Boyéol in upright roman type appear among the italic lines. There is no illustration, closing ornament or signature.]
