l REFLEX IV SALES NEWS "GIANT DOUBLEISSUE"

Giant double issues of periodicals are usually produced about

Christmas time, or as a "gimmick" to sell advertising space.

The reason, however, for ou.r double issue is much more ordinary.

The simple facts are that much of the copy for the May issue was

held up and when the edition was ready for the press our Multi­

lith operator went down with a bad case of gastric influenza.

When he returned to work he had to tackle the Kodak Price List,

plus several other jobs of higher priority than Sales News.

Rather than send out the May issue at the beginning of June we

decided to combine it with the June issue.
