TANLAC SALES
ESTABLISH NEW
WORLD RECORD
Bottles Sold in Four Years
Would Make Track Reach
ing From New York to
Denver, Colorado

Four years ago very few people
had ever heard of Tanlac-Today 1t
Enthusiastically has the largest sale
of any medicine in the world, and is
as we'll known in Canada as in TINS
country In the brief period of only
four years time this now famous
remedy has leaped from obscurlty to
the very pinnacle of success. It's
fame, in fact, has long since spread
beyond the limits of the continent,
and numerous inquiries regarding II
are now being received from many
foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully
realize what q really wonderful
record Tanlac has made. Indeed, II
it were not for the unQueStlonapIe
facts and figures given out by the
largest and best known drug firms
of the country the story OF its sue
cess would be hard to believe,
= Up to January 1 the total sales
of Tanlac amounted to approximate
ly twelve million bottles. The de-
mand, however is increasing, Tor
during the first ten weeks of this
year over one million bottles were
sold and distributed in the United
States and Canada, the exact figures
being 1,306.186 III three months.
At this rate, therefore, the sales
for the present year will amount to
more than five million bottles. This
will mean that 1900 bottles or Tan
lac will be sold during every day OF
the year, or 400 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 mil
lion bottles mean by imagining them
laid out in a single file end to end.
Thus laid they would make a track
of TanIac from New York, through
Il - Cn1n nT
they would form double track OF
TanIac 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 tallest building in
the world.
D. The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that its sale instead OF be-
ing measured by the gross as other
preparations have been, is now reck-
oned by the carload and even by the
trainload In proof of this it is a
noteworthy fact that the leading
drug jobbers~ everywhere now buy
Tanlac almost exclusively in carload
lots. To supply The Pacific coast
trade alone requires from forty to
fifty carloads 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 carloads
since the introduction of Tanlac in
that state four years ago. Il
Within the past ninety days, ten
carloads of Tanlac have gone to sup
ply the demand of British Columbia, |
Saskatchewan, Alberta and Mantle
ba. Canada. - 81

Francisco. the largest retail drug |

They have sold more than 10000 |
. bottles at retail. which surpasses
the remarkable record of Jacobs |
Pharmacy company, of Atlanta, who
have sold approximately $4,000 bot
ties at retail.
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
phenomenal and unprecedented sue
