present epidpn.ic-Our duty--;id yOIr
duty--is to distribute VapoItub in tho
quickest possible manner to thoSt see
tIOnS stricken by Influenza. We. there
fore, call your careful attention TO the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE If SUP.
PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On OctObcr Lst we had on hahi. Mt
our Factory and IN twenty warehouses
scattered over the country sufficient
VapoHub to last us, we thought, until
January 1st. allowing for Il 80 per cent
increase over last years sales. and not
counting our daily output This big
excess stock had been accumulated
during the summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
hupnza hit uS--and in the last ten days
this stock has vanished. At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would last only few days, but the
orders have run:
Wed. Oct. 10. 1S,504 dOz.
Thur. Oct. II. 49,. .2532.I tOz.
Fri, Oct. IS. 49,. 1926 doz.
Sat. Oct 19..... .45S33 hOz.
Mon. Oct. 81. .77,705 dOz.
Up to Saturday. October 10Th. we
have actually shipped for this month
$4O02S4,f0, or over Two million jars
0f Vap0Rub.
THE PROBLEM NOW Is TO DIS
TRIBUTE VAPoRUB QUICKLY.
MnSt OF this tremendous quantity is
stifl en- route 10 the jOhbcrs. but
freight and express are both con
ge&tcd nowadays. and II may he some
time before this supply reaches the
johbers. In the meantime. therefore,
II is necessary that we distribute. as
widely rs possible, the stock that wN
are manufacturing daily. together with
that npw on The iobbers' and retailers
shelves. in order that IL may get to
the Influenza districts quickly. Our
normal output is about 1000 dozen
per day We are putting on night

fore that is producing.
