TANLAC MOVES
TO new HOME
Magnificent New Laboratory
Has Daily Capacity OF
$4,000 Bottles

What is said to be one Of the la
gest pharmaceutical laboratories i
the United States has been complete
at Dayton, Ohio, for the manufacture
OF Tanlac, the well-known medicin
which according to recent reports
now having the largest sale of an
medicine of it's kind in the world.
The erection of tie new plant wa
made necessary by the rapid growt]
Of the business, as the Older plan
was found to be wholly inadequate t,
! supply the ever-increasing deman,
Which at the present rate Of sale viii
amount to more than five million bot
ties for the present year alone
| BY the erection Of this plant tnt
manufacturers Of Tanlac are giving
] to the world just one more evidence
OF the remarka bic growth and expan
sion OF their business, and OF the11
absolute confidence in its future.
Their 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 beneficially
as well.
The new building occupies 10000
square feet Of floor space. It is six
stories in height practically fire
proof throughout, and is Of striking
architectural design. 1t also has pr
vate 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 extreme
~ modern chacter of the equipmenc.
Everything is provided and splendid
~ arranged to promote systematic
and rapid production. The very lat
est machinery and devices known to
invention and pharmaceutical science
are here used
The interior throughout is finished
III 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
The entire process Of manufacture
Isl 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 mach
merry 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 creata5
III the United States was quickly Dup
'lcated in the Dominion Provinces
AS result, it was recently found ne
cessary to establish another Tanlac
Laboratory at Windsor, Canada. which
is On somewhat smaller scale than
the plant at Dayton, but is no less
moderniy equipptd.
These new facilities give a daily
capacity OF $4,000 bottles, but as Tan
lac is rapidly being introduced into
foreign countries it is probably only
a question Of a few years before e.
ven large facilities will become nee
While the manufacturers are neccx-
sarlly working for capacity proouc-
tlon, 1T is a fundamental rule of the
1aniac Laboratories that the quality
OF the medicine shall never he sac
fl11ced to secure quantity output.
Uniform quality is guaranteed NV

pert chemists, from the time the root
herbs and banks are received in thair
