WORLDS RECORD IS
BROKEN BY TANLAC
BOTTLES SOLD IN FOUR YEARS
WOULD REACH FROM NEW
YORK TO DENVER, COLO.

-Four years ago very few people
had ever heard OF Tan.ac. Today it
unquestionably has the largest sale
of any medicine III the world, and IS
as well known in Canada as in this
country. In the brief period Of on! y
Jour years this now famous remedy
mas leaped from obscurlty to the very
pinnacle of success. Its tame, in fact,
has long since spread beyond the Inn
it's of the continent, and numerous
inquiries regarding it are now being
received from many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully
realize what a really wonderful rec
ord Tanlac has made. Indeed, II 1t
were not for the unquestiJnable facts
md figures given out Dy the largest
and best known drug firms Of the
country, the story OF its success would
be hard to believe.
Up to January first, the total sales
Of Tanlac amounted to approximate
iy twelve million bottles. The demand,
however, is increasing, for during the
first ten weeks Of this year over one
million bottles were sold and dlstrlb-
uted in the United States and Can
ada, the exact figure being l,3U6, ,l66
IN three months.
At this rate, therefore, the sales
for the present year will amount to
more than five million bottles. This
will mean that 1000 bottles of Tan
lac will be sold during every day of
the year, or 2100 bottles for every
hour of the average working day.
These figures are too stupendous
for the average mind to grasp, but
one may visualize what twelve mil
lion bottles mean by imagining them
laid out in a singe file end to end
Thus laid they would make track
Of Tanlac from New York through
Chicago, and on to Denver, Colorado;
or. they would form a double track
of Tanlac from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf Of Mexico. Piled end on end,
they would tower 1875 times as high
as Pixies Peak, or rise 1888 times
higher than the Woolworth building
in New York, the tallest building in
the world.
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that It's sale, instead of be-
ing measured by the gross, as other
preparations have been, is now reck
oned by the carload, and even by the
trainload. In proof of this it is
a noteworthy fact that the leading
druggist jobbers everywhere now buy
Tanlac almost exclusively in carload
lots. To supply the Pacific Coast
trade alone requires 1rom forty to
fifty carloads per year. Jobbers OF
the Middle West are selling from sew
enty to eighty cars per year.
The well known drug firm Of Hes
sig Ellis Drug Company of Memphis,
Tennessee, has sold over forty car
loads since the introduction of Tan
lac in that state four years ago.
Within the past ninety days, ten
carloads Of Tanlac have gone TO sup
ply the demand of British Columbia,
Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba,
Canada.
The Owl Drug Company Of San
Francisco, the largest retail drug
gists on the Pacific Coast, state chat
they have sold more than 10000 bot
ties at retail, which surpasses the
remarkable record of the Jacobs
Pharmacy Company of Atlanta, who
have sold approximately $4,000 bottles
at retail.
Tanlac is composed of the most
beneficial roots and herbs known to
science. The formula complies with
all national and state pure food and
health laws of both the United States
and Canada; and absolute merit and
merit alone is responsible for its phe-
nomenal and Unprecedented success.
Tanlac is sold in IL Centric by
Thos. Neville, successor to McColloch
Drug Co.; in Imperial by j. Bres-
noke, and in Brawley by ROLAND
Bros.
