Notice on VapoRub distribution policy for druggists
During the influenza epidemic we shipped VapoRub direct to retailers and by parcel post, then to jobbers by express. The surge to small direct shipments overwhelmed capacity, so we revert to shipping exclusively through jobbers. Production doubled at a night shift, but back orders persist. jobbers must distribute in small lots and receive at least double last year's monthly quantity.
