IN 1924, Cycles Alcyon
and their Subsidiaries
delivered more than 100,000 MACHINES

The prodigious vitality of cycling in France has allowed our country to place itself in a few years at the very forefront of this industry.
This is due to the degree of perfection that we have achieved in this branch, thanks to the remarkably oriented efforts of our major firms to ensure us a preponderant place on this world market.
Among the eminent specialists of the "little Queen" we must mention ALCYON whose various factories manufactured in 1924: 104,442 machines, as evidenced by the following report, drawn up by Maître Bourdier, bailiff, 2, rue Pillet-Will in Paris,

on October 1, 1924 in the presence of various sporting notables.
The year one thousand nine hundred and twenty-four. On the first of October,

The progression of Alcyon which has reached this figure in 20 years, is significant: it is the logical outcome of a CONSCIENTIOUS manufacturing above all.
