Les productions ROUSSON-CHAMOUX

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The notice opens by asking “Rousson-Chamoux ?” and answers that this is an old house founded in 1880, when cyclists were few on the roads of France. Thanks to extremely careful manufacture and the working qualities of its creators, the factory at Feurs developed prodigiously, and its managers do everything to satisfy their numerous and loyal clientele. The hubs, pedals, sprockets, cranks, headsets, bottom bracket sets, axles and chainrings bearing the R. F. G. mark are all said to be parts of the highest class, and the notice asks whether more than seventy years of existence is not the best of guarantees. It closes by saying that the Rousson-Chamoux products are exhibited at the Salon du Cycle, stand 325, and that they concern the cycle, the cyclomotor and the motorcycle.]
