Magnificent New Labora.
tory Has Daily Capacity
of $4,000 Bottles.

What is said to be one Of the
largest pharmaceutical laboratories in
the United States has been COM
pleted at Dayton, Ohio, for the manu-
facture of Tanlac, the hwel<known
medicine, which according to recent
reports Is now having the, largest sale
OF any medicine of Its kind In the
world.
The erection of the new plant was
made necessary by the rapid growth
OF the business, as the older plant was
found to be wholly inadequate to sup
ply the ever-increasing demand which
at the present rate of sale will
amount to nor than five million bot
ties for the present year alone.
By the erection OF this plant the
manufacturers Of Tanlac are giving to
theF remarkable growth and expansion
OF their business. and of their abso-
lutte confidence in its future.
This announcement will be read
with interest not only by. the many
thousands of Tanlac agents scattered
throughout every state Of the Union
and throughout Canada, but to the
millions who have used it b~enefcially
as we'll.
The new building occupies $4,000
square feet of floor space. It is six
stories in height. practically hre-proof
throughout, and is Of striking archi-
tectural design. 1t also has private
railway facilities.
This beautiful new structure now
stands In striking contrast beside the
older building where Tanlac was first
made.
Visitors to the laboratories are
strongly impressed with the extreme
ly modern character Of the equip

~splendtdly arranged to promote sys-
tematic and rapid production. The
very latest machinery and devices
known to invention and pharmaceuti-
cal science are here used.
The interior throughout is finished
in spotless white. and all of the large
force of employees wear white uni
forms, which they are required to
change daily. The main offices OF
the first. floor are all finished in
Carara marble and mahogany.
The entire process of manufacture
is conducted under absolutely sani-
tary conditions. Even the bottles
made expressly to contain Tanlac are
washed and sterilized electrically by
the ultra violet ray. process. They
are then filled by automatic machin-
cry and the finished product is there.

As, a resSlt, 1t was recently found
necessary to establish another Tan
lac Laboratory at Windsor, Canada
which is on a somewhat smaller scale
than the plant at Dayton, but is nc
less modernly equipped.
These new facilities give a daily ca
pacity of $4,000 bottles. but as Tan

foreign countries it is probably only 9
