BEAUSSUZET
[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The notice opens by saying that, by the same processes, the Beaussuzet works also make the helmets of all the French police (the Préfecture de Police, the road police), the Garde Républicaine de Paris, the French customs corps, the French gendarmerie in Morocco, the Resident General’s guard at Rabat, the guard of the King of Cambodia and numerous foreign police forces. It then says that the Établissements Beaussuzet of Saint-Etienne have long since earned a fair and legitimate reputation. The factory was founded in 1911 by M. Beaussuzet Père and is today run by his son, described as a very likeable industrialist. The firm specializes in the manufacture of chainwheels (roues de pédaliers) of all models, and also produces sprockets for cyclomotors for all chains, a specially designed model. Its numerous customers include most of the large French marques, and more than forty years of work and effort have won it one of the first places in the market.]
[A firm notice in the magazine’s own column, text only. The two-line heading is set in bold sans-serif with the firm name in wider capitals aligned at the right, and the body is set in italic serif type with the marque name in small capitals and some phrases in heavier italic. No drawing, photograph, signature or agency mark appears, and no text from the reverse of the leaf shows through. A small open ring, apparently a stray mark from the neighboring column, sits at the top edge above the heading.]
