[A small ruled advertisement in black and white. Two lines of heavy roman capitals, the second with the name SUPER-RAPID between quotation marks, stand across the head. Below them a line drawing with fine hatching shows a brake lever of the old hanger type: a clamp strap and a body with a screw at the top left, a long curved blade sweeping out to the right, and short curved strokes at the left suggesting the handlebar. Short lines of capitals and italic type, divided by short heavy rules, state the material and the types, and the firm’s name and town stand in large light capitals along the foot. No signature or monogram is visible.]
[This advertisement shares its unnumbered page of L’Officiel du cycle with advertisements for Uldry, Montcoudiol, Gourgaud, Sonnclair, Soupl and Cobra, each held here as its own record, and others for the A.L.C. cable lock, Oryap trailer wheels, the Sanor electric horn and La Maison de la Moto motorcycle supplies.]
