When the influenza epidemic struck
the country and wiped out our ware
house and jobbers' stocks almost over
night, we were faced with the prob
lem of distributing to the stricken
districts in the quickest possible
manner our daily output of VapoRub.
We solved this bv offering to ship di
rect to the retailers in these influenza
districts, by parcel post prepaid, quan
tities of not more than three dozen
VapoRub in any one shipment, and
by shipping what was left from our
daily production to our jobbers by ex
nvptjs ins tead of freight.
This was costlv. but it solved the
problem for the time being. Now,
however, we find that these small
shipments are constantly increasing
we have received as many as 1,306 in
a sintrle mail. It is becoming im-
We believe that we can serve you
better now by reverting to our former
policy of shipping exclusively through
the jobber, and, effective immediately,
no more drop shipments will be made.
While we have put on a night shut
and have, thereby, about doubled our
production, we are still unable to Hi
our back orders and won't be able
to give each jobber all the VapoRub
he wants. Hence, it will be necessary
for the iobbers to continue distribut-
more quickly, they are really slowing

ing VapoRub in small lots only. But
we will be able to furnish each jobber
at least twice the quantity of VapoRub
that he nurchased for the correspond
ing months last year, so there should
not be any difficulty in your getting
vour pro rata share.
We feel that the public appreciates
the service that the retail and wnole
