WORLD 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 Today it
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 only
four years time this now famous rem
edy 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 a really wonderful re-
cord Tanlac has made. Indeed, if it
were not for the unquesuonable 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 Cana
da, the exact figure being l,306,1S in
three months.
| At this rate, therefore, the sales
for the present year will amount to
more than five million bottles. This
will mean that17 900 bottles of Tan
| lac 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
I zrferf hD
| lion bottles mean by imagining them
/ laid out in a 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 Mexico. Piled end on end
they would tower 1875 times as high
as Pixies Peak, or rise 1888 times
higher than the Woolworth Building
in New York, the talle,t building in
the world
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that its sale instead of being
measured by the gross as other pre-
parations have been is now reckoned
by the car load, and even by the train
load. In proof of this it is a note
worthy fact that the leading drug
| jobbers everywhere now buy Tanlac
almost exclusively in car load lots.
supply the Pacific coast trade alone
requires fromsforty to fifty car loads
per year. Jobbers of the Middle West
are selling from seventy to eighty
cars per year.
The well known drug firm of Hes
sig-Ellis Drug Company of Memphis
Tenn, has sold over forty car loads
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
lply the demand of British Columbia
SASKATCHEWAN, Alberta and Manitoba,
Canada.
The Owl Drug Company of San
Francisco, the largest retail druggists
on the Pacific Coast, state that they
have sold more than 10000 bottles
at retail, which surpasses the remark
able record of the Jacobs Pharmacy
Company of Atlanta, who have sold
approximately $4,000 bottles at re-
tail.
Tanlac is composed of the most
beneficial 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 it's phe-
nomenal and unprecedented success.
Tanlac is sold in Viroqua by C. F.
Dahl, in Genoa by Gus Zabolio Co.,
and in LaFarge by Jas. Weisner.
