raniac forms one OF the most interest
fns chapters Of Americas latter da,
commercial history.
+, Four years ago very few people had
ever heard Of Tsnlac-today II unques'
tionabiy has the largest sale OF an,
medicine n the world. and 70 as wei
knowa In Canada as in this country
In the brief period OF only four years
time this now famous remedy has leap.
cd from obscurity TO the very pinnacle
OF success, lis fame, IN fact, has Ions
since spread beyond the limits OF the
continent, and numerous Inquiries re-
Sard.ng II are now being received from
many foreign countries.
} Very few people. however. fuzzy real
ire what q really wonderful record
Tanlac has made. Indeed. If it were
oct for the unquestionable facts and
figures given out by the largest and
best known drug firms Of the country
the story Of its success would be hard
20 believe.
/ Up to January first, the total sales
OF Tanlac amounted to approximately
Involve million bottles. The demand
ihorsver 10 increasing, for during the
first ten weeks OF this year over one
million bottles were sold and distrIo-
uted In the United States and Canada,
the exact figure being 1,3o6,1s6 in three
months.
At this rate. therefore, the sales for
the present year will amount TO more
than five million bottles. This viii mean
that 1900 bottles OF Tanlac VIII be
sold during every day of the year. or
2,1e0 bottles for every hour Of the
average working day.
These figures are too stupendous for
the average mind to grasp, but one may
means by imagining them laid out IN a
sisas.e file end TO end. Thus laid they
would make a track OF Tsnlac from
New York thru Chicago. and on 20
Denver Colorado: or they would form
a double track Of Tanlao from Great
Lakes to the Gulf OF Mexico. Piled end
on end they would tower 135 times as
high az Pixies Peak. or rise 1888 times
higher than the Woolworth Building in
New York, the tallest building n the
world.
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that its sales instead of being
measured by the gross as other prep
arations have been, is now rechoned by
the carload, and even by the train load.
In proof Of this il is noteworthy fact
that the leading drug jobbers every
where now buy Taniac almost exclus-
lively in car load lots.
To supply the Pacific Coast trade
alone requires from forty to fifty car
loads per year-Jobbers Of the Middle
West are ceiling from seventy to eighty
cars per ysr. One jobbing concern
alone. the Evans Smith Drug Company
Of Kansas City Missouri, is selling at
the rate Of tweaty car loads Of $4,000
bottles each per year. In letter dated
April 18th, julius NJ Price % that
company says: an figuring the amount
of Taalac sold since taking this agency
We find that we are now working on
the thirteenth car, having sold more
than a quarter OF million packages in
eight months"
The well known drug firm OF Hessig-
Ellis Drug Company, Of Memphis, Ten
neSsee, has sold over forty car loads
since the introduction of Tanlac IN that
state four years ago. Mr. r. R. Ellis,
President OF that COMPANY Is author
ity for the statement that the demand
for Tanlac has been greater than any
other five medicines combined.
Within the past ninety days, zen
carloads of Tanlac have gone to supply
the demand Of British Columbia, Sas-
kachewan, Alberta and Manitoba.
Mr.. Charles Med Hay, President OF
Of Toronto, one of the oldest aid best
known jobb'ng concerns IN Canada
says: I'VE have handled in Ontario
Province, Canada, five car loads OF
Tanlac since October, 1913, while our
total purchases have amounted to II
cars within the past two years"
The Owl Drug Company Of San
Francisco. the largest retail drugg;s-s
on the Pacific Coast, state that they
have sold more than 10000 bottles at
retail, which surpasses the remarkable
record Of the Jacobs Pharmacy Com
pany Of Atlanta, who have sold approx
imately $4,000 bottles at retail.
These enormous sales mean but one
thing, and that is-Merit.
Tanlac Is widely advertised, It is true,
but such an unprecedented and rapidly
growing demand could not be brought
about by advertising alone. One bot
tie Ia sold in a neighborhood thru ad-
veItising, but ten more bottles are
sold in that community after the first
bottle produces results. People are
always willing to talk about their all
ments, but they are more than willing
TO tell others Of the medicine that helps
them.
Tanlac Is composed of the most bene-

responsible Tor it's phenomenal and I'M
