Les remorques MARVEL

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The notice says that the house of Marvel, of Paris, specializes in the production of excellent trailers for cycles, and that the following types are cited in particular, listed verbatim:]

— La Pitchoune, pour le transport des enfants en toute sécurité, le modèle avant été étudié particulièrement dans sa forme et sa suspension ; le toit est décapotable ;
— La Transport, à caisse en bois résistant, renforcé par un cadre métallique (amortisseurs et double fourche coulissante) ;
— La Légère, modèle sur lequel des roues de tous diamètres peuvent être montées, type en métal extra-léger ;
— La Campo, modèle monoroue en acier profilé extra-léger muni d’une roue à billes, pneu ballon de 350, garde-boue

[A firm notice in the magazine’s own column, text only. A bold sans-serif heading aligned at the right, with the firm name in wider capitals, stands over text set in roman serif type with the firm name in small capitals, and each item of the list begins with a dash and an italic model name. No drawing, photograph, signature or agency mark appears, and no text from the reverse of the leaf shows through. The crop ends in the middle of the last list item, after the word “garde-boue”, so the notice is incomplete here. A small solid star at the top edge, above the heading, is an ornament that belongs to the neighboring notice.]

[Ebykr summary, continuing the list of trailer types. The last model named is the Pitchoune again, listed verbatim:]

— Enfin, la Pitchoune, spécialement conçue pour bicyclettes et cyclomoteurs.

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. This real little “closed car” (« conduite intérieure ») offers two side windows on each side, a windshield at the front and a rear window, and a removable backrest allows the children to be laid down. The other features of the model are then listed verbatim:]

— Garde-boue enveloppants ; pneus ballon ; toit décapotable ; suspension très douce.

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. This set of qualities is said to allow comfortable transport of children in conditions of absolute safety, both as protection against accidents and as regards health (protection against bad weather, etc.).]

[A continuation of a firm notice in the magazine’s own column, text only, set in roman serif type with the model name Pitchoune in italic and a dash opening each list item. The crop opens in the middle of the model list, with no heading, and carries no drawing, photograph, signature or agency mark; no text from the reverse of the leaf shows through. A small solid star below the last paragraph, an ornament marking the end of the notice, sits at the foot of the crop.]
