[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The Société Industrielle de Mécanique, better known as S.I.M., receives its customers from the mainland, overseas France and abroad at its stand no. 257. The notice recalls that the firm devotes itself solely to making chrome steel balls for the makers of cycles, motorcycles and scooters and for the makers of spare parts. Its balls are also used in various industries, notably in high-precision mechanics. Through the quality and precision of its production S.I.M. was able to enter the international market a few years ago and now counts important outlets there.]
