All Shipments Now fo to Jobbers for Redistribu- tion. 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 Vapo- Rub. We solved this by offering to ship direct to the retailers in these influenza districts, by parcel post pre- paid, quantities of not more than ares dozen VapoRub in any one ship- ment, and by shipping what was left from our daily production to our job- bers by express instead of freight. This was costly, 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 single mail.

We believe that we can serve you etter now. by reverting to our former olicy of shipping exclusively thru jobbers, and, effective immediately, no more drop shipments will be made, While we have Puts on a night shift and have, ther about doubled eur production, we s our back orders and won't be able to give each jobber all the VapoRub he wants. Hence, it will be necessary for the jobbers to continue distribut- ing VapoRub in small lots only. But we will be able to furnish each job- der at least twice the quantity of VapoRub that he purchased for the corresponding month last year, so there should not be any difficulty in your getting your pro rata share. We feel that the public appreciates the service that the retail and whole- sale drug trade have rendered the country in this time of stress. We wish to express to both branches of the trade our thanks for the kind co- operation extended us in our effort to meet this emergency. Greensboro, N. C.
