Dear Sir-It would be a very hard
matter for US to write a letter ex-
pressing just our feelings and expert
ence in regard to Tanlac. We know
that the day of miracles is past, and
we all know that there are no unfath-
ENABLE mysteries in the drug business.
and yet this Tanlac 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 w we have sold more than
279,900 bottles is just the least you
can say, phenomenal and bewildering.
April was our twelfth month, and we
sold five carloads during that month
alone.
Tanlac is giving entire satisfaction
to our trade and is constant and
regular 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.
The uniform courtesy and considera-
tion-the splendid business policy dis
played by Mr.. Willis with us as his
wholesale distributors, and through us
our agents, has been everything that
we could ask, and we wish you con-
tinued success and hope that you will
realize on your wishes to in every way
stapelize and permanently perfect the
popularity and continued sale of
Tanlac-
Yours very truly.

Approximately Ten Million Bot
ties Sold and Distributed
in Three Years.
SUCCESS UNPRECEDENTED
Fifteen Trainloads Are Sold
Through Atlanta Office 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
Tanlac, which has been the sensation
of the drug trade thruout America.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little oyer
three years ago in the thriving little
city of Lexington, KY, where 10000
bottles of medicine were soid in only
a few months time. Since that time
there have been sold turnout the
United States and Canada approx
mately 100000 bottles, and a ro-
nance which has no parallel in the
modern business world was begun
The instant and phenomenal sue
cess which Tanlac won in Lexington
has been duplicated in practically
every large city. small town, village
and hamlet in North America, Hawaii.
Alaska, Cuba. Porto Rico and other
American possessions have clamored
for Tanlac.
Atlanta Office Sold is TrainIoads.
The fact that two hundred and
twenty-three carloads. approximately
fifteen trainloads, of Tanlac have been
sold thru the A ,anta 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.
AS a matter of fact, the greatest
drug firms of the country have volun-
tarily come forward and stated in
plain, cold figures the record brea king
sales everywhere, and the following
letters from well known wholesale and
retail drug firms give ample evidence
of the true worth and widespread pop
uarity of Tanlac.

Fort Worth. Texas.

Mr. G. F. Willis, International Dis
tributor of Tanlac, Fourth National
Bank L lg., Atlanta, Ga.
My Dear Mr.. Willis-Replying to
your inquiry, we are glad to make
statement of our exact experience with
Tanlac.
When you called on US the latter
part of 1916 we could not comprehend
the extent of business Tanlac was hav-
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
mad. by you, we agreed to cooperate
and act as your agent for our i'm
mediate territory, which covers one
quarter Of the state of Texas, though
a very sparsely settled portion. When
you spoke of our buying Tanlac in
carload lots 1 confess we were a little
bit skepticaL
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 we ha ever handled or had
anything to do with. In six months
time we bought and distributed EIGHT
carioaCs.
We sell thee goods net, cash, fif-
teen days. and SO far we have not lost
a single dollar on a Tanlac account.
The dealer who secures the agency for
Tanlac is very fortunate. indeed
Very respectfully.

Dear Sir-I find upon reference to
our records that since we became your
distributors for TanIac in this territory
last April we have sold to the agents
appointed by you, 75,64S bottles of
Tanlac, and this in a section long on
territory and short on population.
L 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 i'll other territory, and we other
wise would have been exceedingly
skeptical.
You have made good all that you
promised to do in this territory. and
then some. At all times you have been
reasonable and fair in your methods
and can certainly be depended upon to
carry out any verbal or written con-
tract that may be made with you.
Yours very sincerely,
w. A. HOVER & COMPANY.

We have handled since the first of

A GREAT PICTURE

| Morgan City movie fans will
welcome "The Shuttle" photo
play of unusual attractiveness
which will be shown at the Opera
House tomorrow night. The
book of that name has been read
by thousands and its pictureiza-
ton will be seen with the great
est interest.
Captivating Constance Tai
madge in "The Shuttle" plays
the role of Bettina Vanderpoel,
a high-spirited, truly American
girl, who visits here sister Rosa
lie, married to an English lord
who wed her for her money and
has broken her spirit and health
as we'll as emptied her purse.
Bettina rehabilitates her sister,
physically and mentally and also
wins the love of neighboring
English lord of the finest type;
this spinning another weft with
the shuttle of love which plies
across the wide waters of the
Atlantic.
/. The drawing power of the pic
ture is enhanced when the state
ment is made that it is produced
by Lewis J. Selznick-the pic
ture-beautiful manufacturer.
Press accounts of this picture
where it has been presented in
other cities, are lavish in their
praise on the art, beauty and cap
tivating scenes produced in "The
Shuttle" Manager Loeb may
confidently anticipate a capacity
house for tomorrow night-a pic
ture of this class richly de-
serves such an audience.
