This cheerful motor outing for four promotes the F.N.’s “light” touring car. F.N. stands for Fabrique Nationale d’Armes de Guerre. As the name and logo (a rifle and bicycle pedals) indicate, it was Belgium’s national manufacturer of armaments and, not incompatibly, of bicycles, motorcycles, and cars: all three could carry troops—and did so in World War I. In peacetime, their production kept the factory in Liège humming and its workers employed, until more armament production was needed. This poster is unsigned.
