NEW TANLAC PLANT
is NOW COMPLETED
Magnifieent New Laboratory Ha,
Daily Capacity Of $4,000

What is said to be one of the lar
gest pharmaceutical laboratories. IN
the United States has been complet-
ed at DAYTON, Ohio, for the m%anufac-
ture of Tanlac, the well-known med
, icine. which according to recent re-
| ports 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 supply the eve-increasing demand
| which at the present rate of sale will
amount to more than five million bot
| ties for the present yea ralOne.
BY the ERECTION of this plant the
manufacturers of Tanlac are giving
to the world just one more evidence
| of the remarkable growth and expan-
lnion of their business, and of their
absolute 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
Land throughout Canada, but to the
millions who have used it beneficial
ly as well.
Tho new building couples 10000
| square feet of floor space. 1t is six
stories in height, practically fire.
proof throughout, and is of striking
architectural design. II also has
private railway facilities.
This beautiful new structure row
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
ment. Everything Is provided and
spendidly arrangtd to promote sys-
tematic and rapid production. The
very htest machinery and devices
known to invention and pharmaceu-
teal science are here used.
The interior throughout is flushed
in spotless white. and all of the large
force of employees wear white uni
forms, which they are required to
| daily. The main offices on the first
floor are all finished in Carara marble
and mahogany.
| Tit entire process of manufacture
| is conducted under absolutely santa
ry conditions. Even the bottles
| made expressly to contain Tanlac are
washed and sterilized electrically by
the ultra violet process. They are
! then filled by automatic machinery
| and the finished product is therefore
never touched by human hands.
When Tanlac was introduced into
Canada history repeated itself, and
| the demand which had been created
in the United States "a quickly du-
| plicated in the Dominion Provinces.
| AS a result. it was recently found
| necessary to establish another Tanlac
| Laboratory at Windsor. Canada,
| which is on a somewhat smaller scale
| than the plant at Dayton, but is no
| less modernly equipptd.
These new facilities give a daily
| capacity of $4,000 bottles but as Tam
lac is rapidly being introduced into
| foreign countries it is probably only
| a question of a ftw years before even
| larger facilities will become necess-
ary.
While the manufacturers are nee
essarily working for capacity produc
| ton, it is a fundamental rult of the
| Tanlac Laboratories that the quality
| of the medicine shall never be sacri-
| feed to secure quantity out put.
| Uniform quality is guaranteed by a
| series of careful inspections by ex-
| pert chemists, from the time the roots
| and herbs, and barks are received in
