Cost of newspaper in 1928

There were only three authorised political newspapers before the revolution. Soon after the start of the revolution, 50 newspapers were created. The most popular - and one of the most influential was "le Père Duchêne".

It was issued four times each ten days (back then the week had been changed to a ten-days period, the 'decade') and its cost was 50 "sols" (two and a half francs) a month (for twelve issues). An issue was thus worth the price of a dozen eggs : 0,25 franc in 1781.
