[A ruled landscape advertisement in black and white. A line of heavy condensed capitals spans the head. At the left a line drawing shows a cantilever brake with two arms joined by a straddle cable running up to a hanger under a handlebar-stem or cable-stop fitting, the brake shoes mounted on the fork legs; the word “JEAN” is lettered small on the arms. At the right a second drawing shows a brake with a single central spring and a curved arch over the wheel, lettered small “SYLVATOR” along the arch, with an adjusting barrel at the upper right. Between them stands a large interlaced monogram of the letters M, D and L inside a rounded outline, with the word CANTILEVER in heavy capitals below it, a list of brand names in bold type and the firm’s name and address in heavy condensed capitals along the foot. No artist’s signature is visible.]

[This advertisement shares its unnumbered page of L’Officiel du cycle with advertisements for Tank and Henri Gauthier, each held here as its own record, and others for Merat seats for vélomoteurs and motorcycles and the Alma vélomoteur.]
