WORLDS RECORD Is
BROKEN BY TANLAC
BOTTLES SOLD IN FOUR YEARS
WOULD REACH FROM DENVER
TO NEW YORK CITY

Four years ago very few people had
ever heard of Tanlac-today it un-
ouestionably has the largest sale OF
any medicine in the world, and is as
wellknown in Canada as in this coun-
try. In the brief period of only four
wears 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 lin
its of the continent, and numerous in
quiries regarding it are now being re-
ceived from many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, realize
what a 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 belive.
I'D to January first the total sales
of Tanlac amounted to approximately
twelve million bottles. The demand,
however, is increasing, for during the
first few weeks of this year over one
million bottles were sold and distrib-
uted in the United States and Canada,
the exact figure being 1,306,1S6 In
three months
At this rate. therefore, the sales
Bonners Ferry herald. [volume] (Bonners Ferry, Idaho) 1904-current, 1919-06-17

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 1000 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 imaging them laid out in
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 Mex
leo. Piled end on end they would
tower 1876 times as high as Pixies Peak
or rise 1898 times higher than the
Woolworth Building, in New York, the
tallest building in the world.
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that its sale, instead of be-
ing measured by the gross as other
preparations have been, is now reck-
oned by the carload lot, and even by
the train load. In proof of this it
is a wellknown fact that the leading
drug jobbers everywhere, now buy
Tanlac almost exclusively in car load
lots. To supply the Pacific Coast
trade alone requires from forty to
fifty carloads per year. Jobbers of
the Middle West are selling from sew
enty to eighty carloads per year.
The wellknown drug firm of Hessig-
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
car loads of Tanlac have gone to sup
ply the demand of British Columbia,
Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitob,
Canada.
The Owl Drug Company, of San
Francisco, the largest retail druggists
of the Pacific Coast, state that they
have sold more than $4,000 bottles re-
tail, which surpasses the remarkable
record of the Jacobs Pharmacy of At
lanta, who have sold approximately
$4,000 bottles at retail
Tanlac is composed of the most BEN
efcial roots and herbs known to
science 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 its
phenomenal and unprecedented sue
cess.
Tanlac is sold in Boomers Ferry by
c. D. Simonds, druggist and at Lenia,
daho, by the Boundary Mercantile Co.

Don't FORGET.

When you are making that new
luncheon set don't forget that there
are few other things necessary to
complete the effect besides the GEN.
terpiece and the various sized doilies.
You will need covers for the asbestos
mats, among other things. Make pat
terms of,your mats, cut from the linen
or other material from which your
doilies are made half-inch larger all
around. Finish the edges as you have
those of the doilies and, If you like
the work, add a motif or spray from
the plate dolly. pattern. 1t is rather
foolish, however, to waste. time on
work that is sure to be covered up.
If you use a bread tray, make cover
to fit, and don't forget the hot-bread
cover and cover for the tea wagon
or service tray.
