When the influenza epidemic struck
the country and wiped out our ware
house and jobbers' stock 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 Napo-
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
three dozen NapoRub II, any one
shipment. and by shipping what was
left from our daily production to our
jobbers by express instead of freight.
This was costly, but it solved the
problem for the time being. Now.
however. we find that these mail
