[A ruled advertisement set in type only, inside a thin black frame, with no drawing. Two lines in bold slanted sans-serif lowercase open the panel. Below them the name “PACKSON” fills the width in very large roman capitals, and under it “PACKSON-PERFECTION” runs in heavy condensed capitals with a hyphen that sits low. A two-line statement in wide heavy sans-serif lowercase follows, then a long horizontal rule. Under the rule the firm’s name and town are set in light italic type and the export service line and telephone number in bold sans-serif, separated by a dash. A faint ghost of text from the reverse of the leaf shows through in the empty space above the rule. The advertisement carries no artist signature.]
[This advertisement shares page 80 of L’Officiel du cycle with advertisements for Bresson and Vynex, each held here as its own record, and one for Lyonnaise de Tresses et Lacets.]
