Square Psst Of Floor opass


What u said to b one Of the
largest pharmaceutical laboratories
in the United States has been COM
pleted at Dayton. Ohio. for the man
ufacture Of Tanlac. the we'll 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 supply the ever increasing de-
mand which OF the present rate OF
sale will amount to more than five
million bottles for the present year
alone.
By the erection of this plant the
manufacturers Of Tanlac are givin.
to the world just one more evidence
OF the remarkable growth and ex-
pansion of their business, and of
their absolute confidence in its fu-
ture.
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 beneficial
ly as well.
The new building occupies $4,000
square feet Of floor space. 1t is six
stories in height, practically fire.
ing architectural 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 ex-
tremely modern character of the
equipment. Everything Is provided
and splendidly arranged to promote
systematic and rapid production.
The very latest machinery and de-
vices known to invention and phar-
maceutical 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 on
the first floor are all finished in Car
ara marble and mahogany.

tafy 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
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 was quickly
duplicated in the Dominion Prov
inces. AZ q result, 1t was recently
found necessary to establish another
Tanlac Laboratory at Windsor. Can
ada which is on somewhat smaller
scale than the plant at Dayton, but
IL no less modernly equipped.
These new facilities give a daily
capacity Of $4,000 bottles, but a
Taniac 10 rapidly being introduced
into foreign countries 1t IL probably
only a question Of few years be-
fore even large facilities will become
necessary.
While the manufacturers are nee
essarily working for capacity pro-
duetion it is q fundamental rule of
the Tanlac Laboratories that the
quality Of the medicine shall never
be sacrificed to secure quantity out
put.
Uniform quality is guaranteed by
q series II careful inspections by ex-
pert chemists. from the time the
roots, herbs and barks are received
in their rough state from all parts of
the globe until their medi\'nal prop
critics have been extracted by the
most approved processes. The fin-
ished medicine is then bottled, la
belled. and shipped out to the tens of
thousands Of druggists Throughout
the United States and Canada, to
supply demand never before
equalled for this or any other med
ioine.
The executive sales offices are To-
Gated in Atlanta, Georgia, and oc-
cupy almost an entire floor Of the
j Fourth National Bank Building Of
that city.
Tanlac is sold in Augusta by Bow
ditch Webster G. Co., and the leading
druQGisf in all cities and towns
