Checking the French Press website posted above, there are two new firm dates to go with the July 7-8 1887 closure of 29 rue du Faubourg, Reilly's Paris branch:

1) 13 May 1885: A firm date for closing rue Scribe and opening 29 Faubourg:

2) 04 Feb 1868: An earlier date (by two weeks) for the opening of rue Scribe:

This certainly explains the continued references to "Paris" in some Reilly ads in English periodicals up to mid 1887:
