[A ruled advertisement in black and white, taller than it is wide, with a heavy black bar along the foot and heavy black corner brackets at the top. At the upper left the name “OLITUB” is drawn as a logotype: a tall rounded O and a tall B at its sides, with “LITU” in small capitals between them above a stack of four horizontal bars. At the right of it “Maison spécialisée dans la remorque monoroue” is set in bold and condensed type, and a short rule follows. A heavy italic line and a line of bold sans-serif introduce the models, “Sa BB1” is set in very large bold capitals, and the words “Légère”, “Stable”, “Élégante” and “Robuste” run down the left in widely spaced letters. At the right a line drawing, hatched with fine strokes, shows a cyclist in a headscarf riding to the right and towing a one-wheeled enclosed trailer: the streamlined body has a rounded hood with a windscreen through which a small child’s face shows, a mudguard over its single balloon wheel, and a short ground line runs beneath. Descriptive text in roman follows, with “Très appréciée du public” in bold and “la BB 3” in heavy type. The firm line at the foot sets “Ets A. JAOUEN” in tall condensed capitals, with the Olivet address and telephone line and the Paris showroom address in separate groups divided by curved brackets. No signature shows.]
