Effective Immediately, No More
Direct Shipments Will Be
Made Retailers. All Ship
ments Go to Jobbers for Re-
distribution.

When the influenza epidemic struck
the country and wiped out our ware
house and jobber's 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
prepaid, quantities Of not more than
three dozen VapoRub in 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 small
shipments are constantly increasing
we have received as many as 1906

NOTICE RETAIL DRUGGISTS
NO MORE VAPORUB DIRECT
BUY IT FROM YOUR JOBBER

possible for us to fill these promptly,
and instead of distributing our goods
more quickly they are really slowing
up the process.
We believe at we can serve you
better now BY reverting to our for
mer policy of shipping exclusively
throu~'l the jobber, and, effective i'm
media .ely, no more drop shipments
will be made.
While we have put on a night shift
and have, thereby about doubled 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 distribut-
ing Vaporub in small lots only. But
we will be able to furnish each jobber
at least twice the quantity of Vapo-
Rub that he purchased for the COR
responding 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 efforts
to meet this emergency.
