[A ruled black-and-white advertisement set in a thin frame with a heavy black drop-shadow along the right and lower edges. The head is “MOYEUX” in light roman capitals above “STURMEY-ARCHER” in very large bold roman capitals, followed by two lines of text in a bold typewriter-like roman, with “pratique & mécanique” in a heavier extended face. In the middle a line drawing of a multi-speed hub is shown from the side: a long barrel-shaped hub shell with spoke flanges at both ends, a label on the shell reading “STURMEY” and “AW-7”, a toothed sprocket at the right, and a short control chain with a rod running up from the axle end. The word “TOURISME” is spelled out letter by letter in light capitals stepping down diagonally from upper left to lower center at the left of the drawing, and “SPORT” steps downward at the right. An italic line, a short rule, and a bold heading introduce a list of six numbered advantages in a light roman face, some letters worn or broken in the printing. A second short rule precedes the distributor lines: a roman line, the name “Société G.I.P.” in heavy black letters, the address in large italic and roman, a line in small bold type on sales and telephone, and two closing lines in a wide outline-shaded face. No artist signature or agency mark is visible, and no text from the reverse of the leaf shows through.]
[This advertisement shares page 176 of L’Officiel du cycle with an advertisement for Geno, held here as its own record, and others for Industrielle de Billes, Geno and G. Prost.]
