WORLD s RECORD IS
BROKEN BY TANLAC
Bottles Sold in Four Years Would
Reach From New York to
Denver, Colorado

Four years ago very few people had
questionably has the largest sale of
any medicine in the world, and is as
well known in Canada as in this coun-
try. In the brief period of only four
years time this now famous remedy
has leaped from obscurity to the very
has long since spread beyond the linn
it's of the continent, and numerous in
quiries regarding it are now being re
ceived from many foreign countries.
Very few people. however, fully real
ize what really wonderful record
Tanlas has made. Indeed, if it were
not for the unquestionable facts and
figures given out by the largest and
best known drug firms of the country
the story of it's 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 distrib-
,uted in the United States and Canada,
the exact figure being 1,306,1S6 in
three months.
At this rate, therefore, the sales
for the present year will amount to
more than five million bottles This
will mean that $4,000 bottles of Tan
lac will be sold during every day of
the year, or $1,000 bottles for every
hour OF the average working day.
These figures are too stupendous for
the average mind to grasp, but one
may visualize what twelve million bot
ties mean by imagining them laid out
in single file end to end Thus laid
they would make track of Tanlac
from New York through Chicago, and
on to Denver, Colorado; or they would
form double track of Tanlac from
the Great Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico
Piled end on end they would tower 1876
times as high as Pixies Peak, or rise
$4,000 times higher than the Wool
worth Building in New York, the tall
est building in the world
The demand for Tanlac has become
SO great that it's sale instead Of being
measured by the gross as other prepar-
atoms 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 job
bers everywhere now buy Tanlac al
most exclusively in car load lots To
supply the Pacific coast trade alone
requires from forty 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 Hessig-
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 supply the
demand of British Columbia, Saskache-
wan, Alberta and Manitoba, Canada.
The Owl Drug Company of San Fran
cisco, the largest retail druggists on the
Pacific coast, state that they have sold
more than 10000 bottles at retail,
which surpasses the remarkable record
of the Jacobs Pharmacy Company of
Atlanta, who have sold approximately
$4,000 bottles at retail.
! Tanlac is composed Of the most bene-
fetal roots an 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 phenomenal and un-
preecedented success.
Tanlac is sold in Baraboo by Fisher
Bros, and in Reedsburg by Henry
