In later statement Mr.. Willis said ::
This condition was brought about
not only by the enormous demand for
Tanlac but by the congested condition
Of the railroads.
when 1t seemed almost certain
that the threatened nationwide rail-
road strike would 90 into effect we
made arrangements to keep our prin-
cipal distributors supplied by express.
Over one thousand (S1000OO) dollars
was spent for express charges in a
single day on Texas and Oklahoma
orders alone.
Working at Top Speed.
although the big Tanlac laborato-
ries at Dayton. Ohio, have been run
ming at top speed turning out their
full capacity of approximately twenty
five thousand bottles per day, we have
been wholly unable to meet the de-
mand for Tanlac which has been Gre
ated during the past two years.
''In addition to the Dayton laborato-
ries with their enormous output the
Cooper Medicine Company is now plan
ming to establish branch plants in the
Central West, on the West coast and
in the Dominion of Canada, and unless
international complications make it
impossible for US to secure the numer-
Gus ingredients in the way Of roots,
herbs, barks, etc, many of which come
from remote parts of the globe, we
will be able to take care Of any future
demand"
The wonderful growth and develop
ment of Tanlac has been the marvel Of
the commercial world and the amaz-
ing success achieved by the prepara-
tons seems almost incredible.
What Dealers Say.
In only two years time over seven
and one-half million bottles have been
sold and the demand is constantly in
creasing. Although placed on the mar
ket in Texas and Oklahoma but a few
months ago practically a third of a
million bottles have already been sold
and thousands have been unable to OBJ
tain it on account Of the inability of
the laboratory to supply it.
Dealers and jobbers have been al
most frantic because of their inabil-
ity to fill the thousands of orders they
have been receiving and the following
letters and kilograms from well known
firms gave ample evidence Of the won
derful growth and popularity of Tan
lac:
