From L’Officiel du cycle, du motocycle et du camping, 1 October 1955, N° 20, the paper’s special number before the Salon du Cycle at the Porte de Versailles, page 47: wolber tires for bicycles, cyclomoteurs, vélomoteurs, scooters and motorcycles, and tubulars used in the Tour de France. 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 pneumatiques WOLBER
[Ebykr summary; the article’s text is not reproduced. The Société Wolber has specialized for many years in the “2-roues” and offers its clientele a complete range of tires, extremely varied in presentation, whose strength, road-holding and suppleness are well known to the general public. Its bicycle, cyclomoteur, vélomoteur, scooter and motorcycle tires now equip an impressive number of machines, in France as well as abroad, which proves their quality. Its tubulars (boyaux), which again this year equipped many riders, particularly in the Tour de France, fully justify that renown.]
[Text only: a short notice of one column width under a heading set flush right in a roman face, “Les pneumatiques” in light type and “WOLBER” in bold capitals. The body is justified text in a serif face, mostly italic, with a few bold phrases (“qualités de robustesse, tenue de route et souplesse”, “Ses pneus”, “Ses boyaux”) and the firm’s name set in small capitals. Three paragraphs follow, the first two indented. A single black dot ornament closes the notice at the foot. No illustration, address, stand number or signature appears.]
