Le Funi - June 21, 1925

Two pieces of good news for Funi readers:
A free movie ticket for subscribers or equivalents
A major competition with numerous prizes

It is a well-known fact that the power of a newspaper depends on its readership. Funi is no exception to this axiom and, eager to strengthen its strength, it is offering each of its subscribers, starting today, a completely free ticket to a local cinema. It will, of course, start with its current subscribers, many of whom have been subscribers since 1923.
However, to avoid harming our booksellers and newsagents, we have decided to introduce equivalent subscribers, the system of which is as follows: Each reader per issue, wishing to take out a subscription, remits the subscription amount, i.e., 5.75, to their bookseller, from whom they must request a receipt issued by the latter. From this date, for one year, they will be able to purchase their weekly Funi from the bookseller, of course, without paying. In this way, he will be entitled to: 1° 10 free lines in the "Classifieds" section; 2° a free movie ticket for a local theater.
We ask booksellers who have not received an explanatory leaflet to kindly request one from our carrier.

THE "EMBARRASSED DRIVER" COMPETITION

Here is an original and fun competition, not falling under the law that prohibits contests in which a winner is determined by chance alone. Indeed, it's not about guessing the number of beans in a basket, or, given that a boat is traveling at 20 knots, guessing the captain's age. None of that. It's an honest competition, the full details of which will only be provided in our July 5th issue, and which will delight young and old alike. The prizes! It's impossible for us to offer a country house or a car, as our great colleagues have done. Nevertheless, the prizes are numerous and magnificent. We owe them to the generosity of our advertisers, and here is a brief overview of those we have been able to collect so far!
Mr. BALDEYROU, director of the Au Gagne Petit pharmacy, is offering a superb ladies' toiletry set.

AGA, 107, Faubourg du Temple, a set of rugs.
Mr. MADRONET, owner of "A la Ville de Limoges," several sets of porcelain.
Mr. VACHE, "A la Maison Nouvelle," 60, rue de Belleville, is offering small, medium, and large trunks and briefcases.
Mr. ALLERON, director of "Temple-Alimentation," 40, Faubourg du Temple, several kilos of chocolate and coffee.
Mr. MUNIER, 101, rue Julien-Lacroix, a kitchen buffet.
Mr. BERNARD, director of the Cocorico cinema, 50 free tickets.

Mr. DEUNIER, director of the Alhambra cinema, 50 free tickets.
Mr. BRUNEAU, director of the Pathé Temple, 50 free tickets.
Messrs. DUPUY and PETRASCH, the eminent dental surgeons at 105 rue de Belleville, are offering 100 francs worth of dental work, divided into four parts. The lucky winner whose teeth are perfect will not be required to have their jaw removed in order to use the free treatment vouchers. We will do our best to arrange things as best we can.
In addition, our management will offer 100 Funi season tickets.
But we are still waiting for other prizes. We urge anyone with good intentions in this regard to inform us urgently, thanking them warmly in advance.

MANAGEMENT.

And while waiting for the competition to be published, calculate the speed of the Seine current between these two points and multiply by the chances of an accident: zero!
