WODLD'S RECORD is
BROKEN BY TANLAC

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 Tanlac. Today it I'M
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. Its fame in fact,
has long since spread beyond the
limits of the continent, and numerous
inquiries regarding it are now being
received from many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully
realize what really wonderful rec
ord 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 it's success would
he hard to believe. \
Up to January first the total sales
of Tanlac amounted to approximately
twelve million bottles. The demand,
however, is increasing, for during the
first ten weeks of this year over one
million bottles were sold and distribut-
ed in the United States and Canada,
the exact figure being 1,306,186 in
three months. ...-
At this rate, therefore, the sales for
the present year will amount to more
than five million bottles. This will
mean shat $1,000 bottles of Tanlac
will be sold during every day of the
year, or 2,100 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
bottles mean by imagining them
laid out in a single file end to end.
Thus laid they would make a 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 towner 1875 times as high as
Pixies Peak, or rise 1888 times high
er 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
preparations have been is now reckoned
by the carload, and even by the train
load. In proof of this it is note
worthy fact that the leading drug
jobbers everywhere now buy Tanlac
almost exclusively in carload lots. TIC
supply the Pacific coast trade alone
requires from forty to fifty carloads
per year. Jobbers Of the Middle West
are selling from seventy to eighty cars
per year.
The well-known drug firm of Hes
sig-Ellis Drug Company of Memphis
Tenn, has sold over forty carloads
since the introduction of Tanlac 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 that
they have sold more than 100000 bot
ties at retail, which surpasses the re-
markable record of the Jacobs Phar-
macy Company Of Atlanta, who have
sold approximately $4,000 bottles at
retail.
Tanlac is composed of the most ben
eficial roots and herbs known to sci
ence. 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 it's phe-
nomenal and unprecedented success.
