'W0R LD'S RECORD IS
BROKEN BY Tl|'ANLAC
Bottles Sold In -Four Years Would
Reach from New York to
Denver, Colo.

Four years ago very few people had
ever heard of Tanlac-today It un.
questionably has the largest sale Of
any medicine in the world, and Is as
well known in Canada as In this coun.
try. In the brief period of only four
years time this now famous remedy
has leaped from obscurity to the very
pinnacle of success. It's fame in fact,
has long since spread beyond the linn.
its of the continent, and numerous in.
quiries regarding it are now being re.
ceived from many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully
realize what really wonderful record
Tanlac has made. Indeed, If it were
not 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
to believe.
Up to January first the total sales
OF Tanlac amounted to approximately
however, is increasing, for during
the first ten weeks of this year over
one million bottles were sold and dis
trfbuted in the United States and
Canada, the exact figure being 1906,
LOO Ill LuIc0 mUuIu6.
At this rate, therefore, the sale fol
the present year will amount to more
than five million bottles. This will
mean that 1000 bottles of Tanlac will
be sold during every day of the year
or $1,000 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 million bot.
ties mean by imagining them laid out
in single 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 doble 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 being
measured by the gross as other pre-
parations have been is now reckoned
by the carload, and even by the train
load. In proof of this it is a notewor-
thy fact that the leading drug jobbers
everywhere now buy Tanlac almost
exclusively in car load lots. To sup
ply the Pacific coast trade alone re-
quires from forty to fifty car loads
per year-Jobbers of the Middle West
are selling from seventy to eighty
cars per year.
The we'll known drug firm of Hes.
sig-Ellis Drug Company Of Memphis,
Tenn, has sold over forty car loads
since the Introduction of Tanlac in
that state four years ago.
