Direct Shipments Will Be Made
Retailers. All Shipments Now
Go to Jobbers for Redistribu
tion. When the influenza epidemic struck
the country and wiped out our ware-
rmnse and mbbers' 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 by offering to ship di
rect to the retailers in these influenza
districts, bv Darcel post prepaid, quan
tities of not more than tnree aozen
VapoRub in any one shipment, and
by shipping what was left from our
daily production to our joDDers uy ex
stead of freight.
This was costly, but it solved the
nvnWpm fnr the time being:. JNow
however, we find that these smal
shipments are constantly increasing
we have received as many as 1,306 in
;no-le mail. It is becoming im-
nossible for us to fill these promptly

While we have put on a night snnt
