Could someone please translate this text to identify what Société Pagnoul et Cie produced? Thank you.

Dr. Drew...I took a quick look at the link. It is 30 years of law review for Belgian, each volume for one year in the late 1800's in very small print. It is impossible to read or to find what you are looking for unless you have a specific page in a specific volume. Perhaps I clicked into the wrong link. Gene

I'm sorry Gene. The link took me right to the page. It is No. 1020 on p. 644

I tried to get into it. It only comes up in the tiniest print copy impossible to read or enlarge....possibly because I'm out in Africa again. Doesn't look like I'll be able to access it. Perhaps you could take a screen shot and send it to my email (forwarded via PM).

Drew, woke up at 0200 and took a quick look. The legal brief deals with the dissolution of the firm Pagnoul & Cie after the death of M. Pagnoul in August 1897 and the settling of its debts by his wife. There is nothing mentioned in the article on a preliminary scan (lots of legalese) on what products the company actually made. I'll take a deeper look tomorrow but it looks like this legal case won't tell you anything substantive about the company. Gene

Thank you Gene. Stay safe!
