TELLS why The

It's What the Neighbors Say
That Really Counts, Says
C. F. Willis.

These enormous sales" said G. T.
Willis. international distributor Of Tan
lac, mean but one thing. and that is
merit. TanlAc is well advertised, II IS
true, but such a large and rapidly
growing demand could not be brought
about by advertising alone. It's what
the neighbors say that counts. One bot.

advertising. but ten more are sold IN
that community after the first bottle

the most talked about medicine in the

the best and most efficient. And, al

based on the unqualified Endorsement

Oklahoma Cityans are responding

for eyes for the navy" Lieut.. c. 5.
! VANDERBILT, recruiting officer for the
navy in Oklahoma. today forwarded a
package containing twenty-tour pairs
of high powered glasses.
Sixty Glasses Per Ship.
Where the navy formerly had from
four to six men on watch with glasses
On each ship, there are now IRON forty
TO sixty watchers. Those equipped with
the highest powered glasses keep watch
miles and miles from the ship, but
those with the lower powered glasses,
such as opera glasses, keep a lookout
close for the vessels carrying the
American soldiers and supplies to the
American soldiers in France. The
opera glasses are used to spy subma-
rines close to a ship, and are Just as
important as the higher powered glasses
as a submarine may submerge and not
come to the surface Of the water until
its prey is close at hand.
The government will pay 81 rent on
the glasses for the term OF the war
and for those which are not returned
at the end of the wal will pay full
value.

ing as reported to us from other states.
We had. however. heard something OF
Tanlac in the Southern states near us,
and, believing in the statements as
made by you, we agreed to cooperate
and act as your agent for III imme-
date territory, which covers one.quar-
ter Of the state of Texas, though a very
sparsely settled portion, When you
spoke OF buying Tanlac in carload lots,
/ confess we were a little bit skeptlcal.
Although your campaign did not be-
gin until February, 1917, from that
time until this good day Tanlac has
been the greatest patent medicine seller
Nc have ever handled or had anything
to do with. In six months time we
bought and distributed EIGHT car

OKLAHOMA CITY
IS FAVORED FOR
BANKHEAD ROUTE
ROuntree Says Sentiment Is
for Route No, /,

J. A. Rountree, secretary Of the
United States good roads association!
was in Oklahoma City this morning
' on his way TO Norman where this alter
noon he addressed members Of the good
roads school Of the state university on
national highways. Mr. Rountree VIII
return to Oklahoma City tomorrow
when he will be one OF the principal
speakers at the meeting OF the Postal
Highways association IN the Chamber
OF Commerce.
Mr.. Rountree has. been in Oklahoma
for the last ten days investigating two
proposed routes for the continuation OF
the Bankhead highway from Little
Rock through Oklahoma to Fl Paso.
Route No. | begins at Little Rock. goes
through Fort Smith, McAlester, Okla
homa City, Shawnee, Wilburtm to Am
ariilo. Route No. 2 begins at Fort
Smith. goes 10 Hot Springs and through
Nena, Ark. S~mithyille. Okla, Narrows,
Okla, Idabelle. Okla. Durant, Okla,
Tishomingo, Okla, Sapulpa, Wynnewood
LAYTON 10 Ammaullo. Route No. J
does not touch Oklahoma but goes from
Fort Smith to Hot Springs to Tear
kama. Greenville. Dallas. Fort Worth to
Fl Paso,
Texas apparently. is offering a strong
bid for the No. ) route as the state
roads commission offers the route
known as Federal Aid road M. which
extends from Texarkana to III Paso, a
distance OF o8S miles.
Mr.. Rountree asserted this morning
that sentiment for the selection Of Route
No. | which passes through Oklahoma
City is strong and that in his opinion
this route stands a good chance OF be-
ing the one selected TO connect the
link between Amarillo and Littl Rock
which will make a continuous route
from Washington TO Fl Paso. The
Bankhead highway which now ends al
Little Rock passes through twenty
cities and towns at which are located
environments. aviation camps and other
military training camps.

Mr. G. F Willis, Fourth National
Bank Bldg, Atlanta, Ga:
Dear Sir-I find upon reference to
our records that since we became your
distributors for Tanlac in this terri
tory last April VIC have sold to the
agents appointed by you 7S,648 bottles
Of Tanlac, and this in a section long
on territory and short on population.
| must confess that your story Of
success with Tanlac in other fields
when you first came TO us would have
sounded something like a fairy tale
but for the fact that we had some ad-
vance information about what you had
done in other territory, and we other
wise would have been exceedingly
skeptical
You have made good in all that you
promised to do in this territory and
then some. At all times you have beer
reasonable and fair in your methods
and can certainly be depended upon to
carry out any verbal or written contract
that may be made with you
| consider that no dealer will make
a mistake in taking IN the distribution
Of Tanlac in your territory.
