I have an old Linen advertising poster that is French and I believe it was in circa in 1925. It was used for advertising for the Company Origine BGA Armes & Cycles Company. I am trying to find out some informtaion on the company and what the words translate into.

"Hunt the competition" or "drive away the competition".
Chasser is a verb meaning "to hunt" or "to drive away".
I have found several illustrations of the poster, but cannot trace any history.

Caicos Turkey has already translated it so this is only an addition:
Many gun (rifle) factories here in Europe started to produce bicycles also here in Austria best known here is "Steyrwerke". Their most famous consumer bike was called "Waffenrad" "weapons bike".
So the slogan has kind of double meaning as hunting can refer to their rifles as well as to their bikes
