The dark bottom half, however, is by far the better part as it is an advertisement for a company once renowned for the best millstones in the world. The text is almost completely faded away, but still. Most interesting and unique.
A closer look at the Renault layers brings two darker circles to the attention. In my opinion two millstones.
La Ferté was known for the world's best millstones and when modern times took over S.G.M. was the company who survived the longest, until the 1950s.
Our sister site about mills in Aragón runs a page about La Ferté and the company's headquarters are shown in Epernon.

Two brands together in one advert: LIP: In 1867 a watch making company was born unter the name Comptoir Lipmann after the
name of the family. LIP as a brand was registered in 1908 and in 1954 the firm became the number one watch making
company in France. Bijoux FIX: The company was created in 1823 and is presumably the oldest French brand of gold plated jewelery. |
