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 Tanlac-Todav if
unquestionably has the largest sale
OF any medicine in the world. and is
as well known in Canada as in this
country, In the brief period of oni,
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 num-
erous Inquiries regarding it are now
being received from many foreign
countries.
Very few people, however, fully
realize what really wonderful re-
cord 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
twelve million bottles. The demand,
however, is increasing, for during the
first ten weeks of this year over one
million bottles were sold and distri-
buted in the United States and Can
ada, 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 that 1900 bottles of Tanlac /
will be sold during every day of the
year, or POO 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 single file end to end. /
Thus laid they would make a track of
ranlac from New York through
Chicago, and on to Denver, Colorado;
,r they would form double track of
ranlac from the Great Lakes to the
Gulf of Mexico. Piled end on end they
would tower 135 times as high as
Pixies Peak, or rise 1888 times high
r than the Woolworth Building in
New York, the tallest building in the
world.
The demand for Tanlac has become
o great that its sale instead of being
measured by the gross as other pre-
'arations have been is now reckoned
" the car load, and even by the train {
pad. In proof of this it is note
yorthy fact that the leading drug
obbers everywhere now buy Tanlac
lmost exclusively in car load lots. {
o supply the Pacific coast trade alone
aquires from forty to fifty car loads !
