assure us of their hearty co-operatIon
in making Tanlac just as successful in

1t is nothing unusual for dealers
to order carload OF Tanlac and have

G. f. Willis. Atlanta. Ga:
My Dear Mr.. Willis,-RcplyinE to
your inquiry, we are glad TO make
statement of our exact experience
with Tanlac.
When You called on us the latter
part OF 1916 we could not comprehend
the extent Of business Tanlac was
having as reported TO us from other
States. We had. however. heard
something OF Tanlac in the Southern
States near us, and, believing in the
statements made by YOU, we agreed
TO cooperate and act as your agent
for our immediate territory. which
covers onc-quartcr of the State CT
Texas. though very sparsely settled
portion. When you spoke of our buy
ing Tanlac in carload lots. ! confess
we were a little bit Skeptical.
Although your campaign did not
begin until February. 1917. from tnat
time until this good day Tanlac has
been the greatest patent medicine
seller we have ever handled. In six
months time we bought and dis.rib-
uted eight carloads.
We sell these goods net cash. M
teen days, and SO far we have not lost
single dollar on Tanlac account
The dealer who secures the agency
for Taniac is very fortunate indeed.

car month since the account was

| must confess that your story of
success with Tanlac in other fields
when you first came to us would have
sounded something like a fairy tale
but FOR the fact that we had some
advance information about what you
had done in other territory, and we
otherwise would have been exceed
ingly skeptical.
You have made good all that you
promised to do in this territory, and
then some. AT all times you have been
reasonable and fair in your methods
and can certainly be depended upon
to carry out any verbal or written
contract that may be made with you

SUCCESS is UNPRECEDENTED
One Million Bottles Sold First

More like tale from the Arabian
Nights OF old than a record of a mod :
crn business reads the story of the
marvellous growth and development
of Tanlac. which has been the sensa-
ton of the drug trade throughout
America
The first bottle Of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold jus, Il little over
four years ago in the thriving little
city OF Lexington. ny. where 10000
oot'lcs or medicine were sold in only

there have been sold throughout the
United states and Canada approAi-
matcly 100000 bottles and q ro-
nance which has no parallel in the
modern business world was begun.
Tho instant and phenomenal sue
cess which Tanlac won in Lexington
has been duplicated in practically
every large city. small town. village

Over 1000 Bottle. n Day.
Sales this year bid fair TO smash all
previous records, as tho sale fer the
first ten weeks amounted to over one
million bottles. 1t seems almost in
and such is the record established ny
this wonderful medicine.
AS n matter OF fact, tho greatest
drug firms OF the country have voIun-
tari!y come forward and stated in

WILLIS EXPLAINS
ENORMOUS SALES

These enormous sales" says G.. p.
Willis. International distributor Of
Tanlac, mean but one thing. and that
ls-mcrit Tanlac is we'll advertised
II is true, but such large and rapidly
growing demand could not be brought
about by advertising alone. It's what
the nciShbors say that counts. One
bottle is sold in nciEhborhood
through advertising. but ten more are
sold in that community after the first
bottle produces results. and that's
right where Tanlac scores. People
are always willing to talk about their
ailments. but they are more than Will
ing to tell others OF the medicine that
helps them. It's something they
couldn't keep to themselves il they
tried, for the impulse to sympa: hiZc
with neighbors and want to help them
is one of tho strongest as we'll as one
of the biggest things in human allure
Tanlac is producing these results"
he continued. and that is why moth
ing on earth can keep 1t out of the
homes OF the people. 1t is not only
the most talked OF medicine in the
world today: but. in my opinion, it is
the best and most efficient. And. al
though prominent officials and leaders
throughout the country have endorsed
Tanlac. It's greatest prestige is firmly
based on the unqualified endorsement
of the masses of the people.
Not day nor a week passes that
does not bring hundreds OF statements
from the people concerning the good
this medicine is doing and recitinG the
circumstances of remarkable cases
that would convince the most skep-
teal. These are alone sufficient for
Tanlac, but the figures contained in
these enormous orders speak clo-
quently and convincingly of the great
good this medicine is doing"
