new LABORATORY
OF TanIac Company Has Been
Completed.
Daily Capacity Is Now $4,000
Bottles.

What is said to be one of the largest
pharmaceutical Laboratories in the
United States has been completed az
DAYTON, Ohio, for the manufacture OF
Tanlac, the well-known medicine,
which according to recent reports Is
now having the largest sale or 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 sup
ply the ever-increasing demand wh1ch
at the present rate of sale Will amount
to more than five million bottles Tor
the present year alone.
BY the erection of this plant the
manufacturers of Tanlac are giving to
the world Just one more evidence OF
the remarkable growth and expansion
of their business, and of their abso-
lutte confidence in its future.
This announcement viii be read
with interest not only by the many
thousands of Tanlac agents scattered
thruout every state of the Union and
thruout Canada, but to the millions
who have used it beneficially as well.
The new building occupies 10000
square feet of floor space. 1t is six
stories in height. practically fire-proof
turnout, and is of striking architec-
tural design. 1t also has private rail-
way 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 extremely
modern character of the equipment.
Everything is provided and splendidly
arranged to promote systematic and
rapid production. The very latest
machinery and devices known to in
vention and pharmaceutical science
are here used.
In fhrIfOIff 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 Ca
rara marble and mahogany.
The entire process of manufacture
IS conducted under absolutely sanitary
conditions. Even the bottles made eX-
pressiy to contain Tanlac are washed
and sterilized electrically by the ultra
by automatic machinery and the fin
ished 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 dup
Heated in the Dominion Provinces. As
a result, 1t was recently found neces-
sary to establish another Tanlac Lab
oratory at Windsor. Canada. which is
on a somewhat smaller scale than the
plant at Dayton, but is no less modern
iy equipped.
These new facilities give a daily ca
pac.ty OF $4,000 bottles but as Tanlac
is rapidly being introduced into for
eign countries. it is probably only a
question of a few years before even
larger facilities will become necessary

ton. 1t is fundamental rule of the
Tanlac laboratories that the quality
of the medicine shall never be sacri.
feed to secure quantity output.
Uniform quality is guaranteed by &
series of careful inspections by exper
chemists, from the time the roots
herbs, and banks are received in theii
rough state from all parts of the GLOBE
until their medicinal properties hav,
been extracted by the most approved
processes. The finished medicine Il
then bottled. labelled. and shipped GU

thruout the United States and Canada
to supply a demand never befor'
equalled for this or any other medi
cine.
The executive sales offices are 10
