A rough translation of the message on this fine card might be:

"How can I refuse to let them into Paradise?... They have all come on Audouard 8 speeds!..."

I have guessed its date at around 1920, based on:

• It is rather well designed and printed - which was, perhaps, more typical of Audouard adverts after the First World War.
• It does not mention the 'Le Crack' derailleur that Audouard introduced in 1923.
