WORLDS RECORD IS
BROKEN BY TANLAC
Bottles Sold In Four Years Would
Reach From New York
To Denver, Colo.

| Four years ago very few people ha(
lever heard Of Tanlac. Today 1t I'm
PROFESSIONALLY 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 foul
years time this now famous remedy
has leaped from obscurity to the very
pinnacle Of success. Its fame in fact
has long since spread beyond the limit
Of the continent, and numerous inquir
les regarding it are now being receiv.
ed from many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully real.
lie what a really wonderful record Tan
lac has made. Indeed. if it were not
for the uuQueStionable facts and figures
given out by the largest and best know
drug firms Of the country the story 0,
its success would he 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 distribut.
ed in the United States and Canada
the exact figure being 1.30G,1S6 in
three months.
At this rate. therefore, the sales TO-
the present year will amount to more
than five million bottles. This vii
mean that 1900 bottles of Tanlac will
be sold during every day of the year
or 200 bottles for every hour of til,
average working day.
These figures are too StupendOus TO
the average mind to grasp, but one ma,
visualize what twelve million bottles
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
a double track of Tanlac from the
Graf 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 build
ing in the world.
The demand for Tanlac has become
so great that its sale instead of be.
ing measured by the gross as other pre-.
parati0ns have been is now reck0ned
by the car load, and even by the train
load. In proof Of this it is q note
worthy fact that the leading drug Job.
bers everywhere now buy Tanlac al. |
most exclusively in car load lots. Tt |
supply the Pacific coast trade alone re.
quires from forty to fifty car loads
per year-Jobbers of the Middle West |
are selling from seventy to eighty car |
per year. t

Ellis Drug Company of Memphis, Tenn.
has sold over forty car loads since the
