Notice to Retail Druggists On Direct VapoRub Purchases
During the influenza epidemic, shipments were made direct to retailers in affected districts by parcel post, with limits of not more than thirty six units per shipment. Now demand has grown too large for prompt fulfillment, so the policy reverts to exclusive jobber distribution. Night shifts doubled production, but back orders remain. jobbers must continue small lot distribution, yet each will receive at least twice last year’s corresponding month quantity. The company thanks retailers for cooperation.
