HUGE ORDERS FOR
1ANLAC ARE GIVEN
Big Plant at Dayton, Ohio,
Doubles Capacity; Now Has
a Daily Output of $4,000
Bottles.

What is probably the largest single
order ever given for a proprietary
medicine was one for thirty five (35)
carloads of Tanlac received few days
ago for immediate delivery by the
Cooper Medicine company from G. f.
Willis. International distributor. with
headquarters in Atlanta. Ga.
Ask the manager Of the Cooper
Medicine company at Dayton. Ohio.
and he will tell you that there are 1860
dozen OF Tanlac to the carload, or a.
100 bottles. This means, therefore.
that $4,000 bottles will be shipped to
the West within the next few weeks to
supply the tremendous demand. This
is in addition to numerous single car
load orders received from the same
source during the last thirty days.
Although the big Cooper laboratories
at Dayton are now capable Of turning
out $4,000 bottles daily, the rapidly In
creasing demand has made 1t necessary
to double their capacity and in q few
weeks time they will have . daily out
put OF $4,000 bottles, which IL probably
the largest In this country.

Mr.. G. F. Willis, Fourth National Bank
Bldg. Atlanta, Ga: ,
Dear Sir-Replying to your inquiry OF
yesterday, we are pleased to advise that
we are now selling Tanlac at the rate
of considerably over 1000 bottles per
week.
On once Saturday alone we SOLD,
through our eleven Atlanta stores, ap-
proximately 700 bottles at retail direct
to consumers. On referring to our rec
ords we firfd that our sales since Its
introduction here something over two
years ago, have reached the astonish-
ing total of $4,000 bottles.
This record is far in excess of any we
have ever made before in the distribu-
ton of any one preparation. In fact,
we have never handled anything that
even approaches 1t as seller.
Thousands of our best people are now
using the preparation with the most
gratifying results, and we can only ac-
count for the phenomenal demand we
are having by the fact that 1t Is a medi-
cine of extraordinary merit.
Assuring you of our high apprecia-
ton for the splendid cooperation you
have accorded US, and with best wishes
for your continued success. We beg to
remain, yours very truly.

proved the suggestion, saying: THE
proposal to submit the selection of
the councilman to the will and wish
of the citizenship of Boise in an infor-
NAL yet real referendum impresses me
most favorably. 1t is in harmony with
the spirit Of a democratic and repre-
sentative government. 1t relieves the
council of a responsibility that might
prove source of criticism. IT
MAKES THE MAN SELECTED IN
THE PROPOSED FASHION FEEL
THAT HE is RESPONSIBLE NOT
TO ANY MAN OR SMALL GROUP
OF MEN BUT TO THE LARGER
COMMUNITY. / am sure that a really
big man would regard his draft in this
manner by the citizenship of the town
as an obligation which he ought not
shirk."
NO OFFENSIVE DlcTATIoN.
Mrs. John Driscoll, president Of the
Copncil of Women Voters, said: my
first impression of the idea of a name
being presented to the city council in
this manner was that of dictation to
a body which had been given this au-
thority of appointment h. law. but
upon further consideration I am re-
minded that the members of the city
council are the servants of the public,
and as such will be glad to know what
the public wishes and willing to serve
in whatever way the public desires. If
the public through the clubs and other
organizations can fix upon some good
man or woman as it's recommendation
for this position, the council ought to
welcome such a suggestion"
A FAIR WAY.
Mrs. w. 8. Chip. past president
state w. c. T. u, said: II regard this
plan as mentioned in the Capital News
as fair and democratic way to get
the will of the people. I can see how
the city council. having been given this
power OF appointment, might resent a
recommendation from the people unless
asked for. yet at the same time such
officials should be willing to consult
the wishes of the leading people of
their city"

DEMAND FOR TANLAC
BREAKS ALL RECORDS.
Approximately Nine Million
Bottles of the Preparation
Have Been Sold and Distrib-
uted in Only Three Years
Time.
Fifteen Trainloads (2,836,560
Bottles) Were Sold Through
the Atlanta Office Alone in
Past Two Years.

More like a tale from the Arabian
Nights Of old than a record of a mod
ern business reads the story of the
marvellous growth and development of
Tanlac, which has been the sensation
of the drug trade throughout America.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little over
three years ago in the thriving little
city of Lexington, KY, where 10000
bottles OF the medicine were sold in
only few months time. Since that
time there have been sold throughout
the United States and Canada approx
mately 10000 600 bottles. and a romance
which has no parallel in the modern
business world was begun.
The instant and phenomenal success
' which Tanlac won in Lexington has
been duplicated in practically every
large city. small town, village and ham,
let in North America. Hawaii. Alaska,
Cuba, Porto Rico and other American
/ possessions have clamored for Tanlac.
The fact that two hundred and
twenty three carloads, approximately
fifteen trainloads. of Tanlac have been
sold through the Atlanta office alone
in the past two years, seems almost in
credible, but these are actual figures
and such is the record established by
this wonderful medicine.
One retail firm alone, the Jacobs
Pharmacy company. of Atlanta, has
sold the astonishing total of $4,000
bottles right in the city of Atlanta,
through their eleven stores. What is
true of Atlanta is also true of practi-
cally every other city of the south,
east and middle west, where the sales
have been correspondingly large.
AS a matter of fact. the greatest
dru~ firms of the country have volun-
tarily come forward and stated in
plain, cold figures the record breaking
sales everywhere, and the following
letters from well-known wholesale and
retail drug firms give ample evidence
of the true worth and widespread pop
ularity of Tanlac.

TANLAC TO BE SOLD
OVER ENTIRE STATE

In only a few weeks time Tanlac
will be placed on sale in pSacti-
cally every large city. town, vfllag
and hamlet in the state of Idaho.
A number of agencies already
have been esta blished in a very linn
tied time. but it is my desire that
the distribution be made more COM
plete and far-reaching.
With this end in view, ] take

and dealers who are interested to

1101 Fourth National Bank Bldg,
Atlanta, Ca:
Dear Sir-It would, be a very hard
after for us to write a letter ex-
pressing just our feeling and expert
ence in regard to Tanlac. We know
that the day OF miracles is past. and We
all know that there are no unfathom-
able mysteries in the drug business.
and yet this Tanhac proposition smacks
of both. For one firm to be able to
sell at the rate of one carload every two
weeks, and for this record to keep up
until now we have sold more than 279.-
800 bottles is just the least you san say
and bewildering. April was
our twelfth month, and we sold five
during that month alone.
Tanlac is giving entire satisfa ction to
our trade and is constant and reg
ular repeater from the same sources.
and our customers write us that their
demands are persistent in the way of
repeat orders as well as from new
users. Yours very truly.

ENGAGEMENT CLOSED
BY OPERA COMPANY

At the closing performance of the
engagement of the San Carlo company
at the Pinney last night the opera
Faust" was presented before a large
audience. In many ways this produc-
ton was the most artistic of the en-
gagement. It was a fitting climax for
the successful opera season. While the
attendance by Boise people was not up
to expectations the support given by
the music loving population of sur
rounding towns saved the venture from
financial disaster.

BAR THE SALARY
SEEKER ADVICE
TO THE COUNCIL
Chronic Job Hunters Do Not
Meet Approval of Public
in Filling Councilmanic
Vacancy.
Various Expressions Ap-
proving the Idea That
Representative B o die s
Suggest One to Be Drafted
Views on the Subject,

The proposal that representatives
Of the leading organizations Of the city
suggest to the city council the name Of
some citizen as a successor to the late
Councilman Finegan, and that the
council be asked to draft the choice Of
those representatives, has met with
many favorable comments.
1t Is recognized by all that the sug-
gestion in no way reflected upon the
ability Of the council to make the Sc
lection, the only object being to give
that body the benefit of a representa-
tive expression In concrete form. Signs
are not wanting that the council would
welcome such recommendation.
DEMAND FOR A BIG MAN.
The concensus of opinion is that the
appointee should be a broad-guaged
business man and one who will have
to make a sacrifice to serve the public.
I'VE do not want any chronic office
seeker or anyone who wants the place
merely for salary" is an expression
heard in many quarters.
SAYS IT'S A GOOD IDEA.
President Charles L. Joy OF the Boise
Commercial club said today he strong
ly favored the suggestion. TT is a
good idea," he went on. There can
certainly be no objection to any repre-
sentative selection. FOR THAT MAT
TER SEVERAL CITIZENS OF
EQUAL CAPACITY NIGHT BE SUG-
GESTED TO THE COUNCIL.
THE Commercial club, without the
slightest desire, excepting to secure for
this city the best possible administra-
ton, will be glad to operate in any
way possible to aid the council in Sc
curing high grade man for the place
1T ought to be a case of the posi-
ton seeking the man. 1 have in mind
several splendid men who would serve
the city in a most acceptable manner
and give 1t the benefit of their wide
business exrerience-a service for
which the city could hardly afford to
pay them-providing the position
came in an honorary way. 1 am
one Of those who believe that in a
city like Boise, public service should
be performed, so far as executive di-
rection is concerned. by men of fine
business capacity who will give their
yervices."
BEST SERVICE FOR PUBLIC.
c. A. Barton, president of the Boise
Rotary club, gave his unqualified in
dorsement to the plan. The Rotary
club is interested only in public serv-
Ice. Its motor is: He profits most
who serves best and that carries with
1t the further idea that the public
profits most from service rendered
with that motto In view.
There is a profit beyond any finan-
cial reward. That is what Rotary
means.
There is a profit to community
far beyond what it may pay the right
kind Of man. That is the kind of SER
vice Rotary hopes to see, installed for
the public.
THE Rotary club could not indorse
anything having the slightest sugges-
ton of politics. but approval of the
suggestion that representatives of
leading Boise organizations recon-
mend, a man or men to be drafted
into the city's service would be wholly
in line with the high ideals of -Ro-
tary."
