THE EDITOR OF THE FUN
SHOP HAS SOMETHING TO
TELL STAR READERS

When we ask for original
and unpublished contributions
obviously we are not going to
accept old things. So why
should any one go to the trou-
BILE of sending them in, paying
for postage, ETC.?
There are any number Of
bright things happening about
you which are original and which,
If accurately reported, will
bring you back interesting
checks.
Let's have those, plus any
real humor from your own
brain.
One other point: Unaccepted
contributions cannot be ac-
knowledged or returned. We
, get so many contributions that
it is physically impossible to
maintain any correspondence
with readers. Therefore, do not
inclose stamps.
Now, with these facts in
mind, go to 1t and let us have
all the new humorous gems
you create or which you hear.
