Bessie.

promptly, and instead of distribut-
ing our goods more quickly, they
are really slowing up the process.
We believe that we can serve you
better now by reverting to our for
mer policy of shipping exclusively
through the jobber, and, effective
Immediately, no more drop ship
ments will be made.
While we have put on night
shift and have, thereby, about dou-
bled our production, we are still
unable to fill 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 distributing VapoRub
in small lots only. But we will be
able to furnish each iobber 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 get
ting your pro rata share.
We feel that the public appre-
ciates the service that the retail
and wholesale drug trade have rem
dered the country in this time of
stress. We wish to express to both
branches of the trade our thanks
for the kind cooperation extended
us in our efforts to meet this ener-
gency.

three dozen VapoRub in any one

left from our daily production to
our jobbers by express instead of
freight.
This was costly, but it solved the
