Hi Ted and Tina,

     In the heyday of news flash with a Graflex and sheet film, ONE SHOT!
In the early thirties news photographers were staff, that's what you used.
The era of the photo story didn't emerge until after World War Two.

     It's probble that, indoors, 99.9% of drugstore finished prints are flash.
