From L’Officiel du cycle, du motocycle et du camping, 19 September 1953, N° 39, the paper’s Salon number du Cycle at the Porte de Versailles, page 30: les remorques pliantes: folding trailers for bicycles (Roche license), light and strong, for touring and camping, carry 100-120 kg; photo of a woman carrying a folded trailer under her arm. The title, headings, captions and lists are transcribed as printed; the text is summarized in Ebykr’s words, and the page images carry it in full.

Les remorques pliantes
du COMPTOIR INDUSTRIEL du BOURBONNAIS
[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The notice says these trailers for bicycles (made under Roche license) are light, simple and strong, and that a few moments are enough to change them from the folded position to the working position and back again. A photograph follows. Folded, the notice continues, they can be carried under the arm, hung on a nail, or put in a cupboard or under a piece of furniture, and their small bulk lets them fit into the smallest space available. Able to carry a load of 100 to 120 kg., they are therefore described as ideal for touring and camping.]
[A firm notice in the magazine’s own column under a two-line bold sans-serif heading aligned at the right, with the firm name in wider capitals, set in serif roman type with a halftone photograph between the paragraphs. The photograph, framed without a border and centered in the column, shows a young woman with short hair in a light sleeveless top standing outdoors in front of dark foliage and holding upright a folded trailer: a rectangular frame braced with crossed bars, with a spoked wheel visible at its lower side. The trailer stands in front of her legs and a low tinted foreground of grass fills the base of the picture. No signature or agency mark appears, and no text from the reverse of the leaf shows through.]
