Default 78 Title Strips

Why do 78 title strips usually only have the artist and one song?

I was under the impression that 78 vinyl has a song on each side of the record.

When I am looking at Title Strips for jukeboxes, I see 45 title strips are larger, with an artist, Side A, and Side B.

78 Title Strips are smaller (shorter) and only have Artist, and Side A. Why is this?

Most 78 record playing jukeboxes only play one side of each record. Yes, the record has two sides but the operator had to decide which side of the record would play on the juke. In the final years of 78 playing jukes (ie, Wurlitzer 1500, Seeburg A) the jukebox could play either side of the 78 calling for the larger, two-sided, title strip. Until that time, operators had no need for a two song title, title strip for a 78rpm machine.
