new TANLAC PLANT
IS NOW COMPLETED
Magnificent New Laboratory Has
Daily Capacity of $4,000
Bottles.

What is said to be one of the
largest pharmaceutical laboratories
in the United State nas been COM
pleted at Dayton, Ohio, for the manu-
facture of Tanlac, the well-known
medicine, which according to recent
reports is now having the largest sale
of any medicine of it's 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-inceeasing demand
which at the present rate of sale will
amount to more than five million bot
ties for the present year alone.
By the erection of this plant the
manufacturers of Tanlac are giving
the world just one more evidence of
the remarkable growth and expan-
sion 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
and throughout Canada, but to the
millions who have used its beneficial
ly as well.
The new building occupies 10000
square feet of floor space. 1t is six
stories in height, practically fireproof
throughout, and is of striking archi
tectural 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-
equipment. Everything is provided
and splendidly arranged to promote
systematic and rapid production. The
main offices on the first floor are all
finished in arara marble and mahog-
any.
The entire process of manufacture
is conducted under absolutely SAM
tary 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 there
fore 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 dup
Heated in the Domionion provinces AS
result, it was recently found nee
essary 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 equipped.
These new facilities have a daily
capacity of $4,000 bottles, but as
Tanlac is rapidly being introduced
into foreign countries it is probably
only question of few years before
even larger facilities will become
necessary.
While the manufacturers are nee
essarily working for capacity produc-
ton, it is a fundamental rule OF the
Tanlac Laboratories that the quality
of the medicine shall never be sacrl-
feed to secure quantity output.
Uniform quality is guaranteed by
series of careful inspections by ex-
pert chemists, from the time the
roots, herbs and banks are received IN
their rough state from all parts OF
the globe until their medicinal prop
hrties have been extracted by tne
most approved processes. The mn
ished medicine is then bottled, lab
elled and shipped out to the tens OF
thousands of druggists throughout
the United States and Canada, to
supply demand never before equal
led for this or any other medicine.
The executive sales offices are To-
Gated in Atlanta, Georgia, and oc-
cupy almost an entire floor Of the
Fourth National Bank Building Of
that city.
