Lapierre

[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The Établissements Gaston Lapierre, of Dijon, are the builders of the G.L. and ORLIGNE cycles, marks well known in the southeastern region. In very modern workshops they build twenty models of bicycles, from the popular type at 12.000 francs to the Grand Cyclotouriste type. The firm also makes a whole range of children’s bicycles, said to be the admiration of the very small, priced from 8.200 to 10.600 francs, which the notice calls a notable effort to please future cyclists. In the motorized department are the “La Gellette” machines of 48 to 98 cm3, described as very attractive for their variety and luxury; the text prints the word for “creations” as “ctéations” in the phrase “ces toutes dernières ctéations”.]
