WORLDS RECORD IS
broken BY TANLAC
Bottles Sold In Four Years
Would Reach From New
York to Denver

This is an age of big business, and al
though the public has become accus-
toned to big figures, the story of the
marvellous growth and development of
Tanlac forms one of the most interesting
chapters of Americas latter day com
mercial history.
! -Four years ago very few people had
ever heard of Tanac-today it unques-
tionably has the largest sale of any medi-
cine in the world, and is as well known i'm
Canada as in this country. In the brief
period of only four years time this now
famous remedy has leaped from OBJ
security to the very pinnacle of success.
Its fame, in fact, has long since spread
| beyond the limits of the continent, and
numerous inquiries regarding it are now
being received from many foreign coun-
tries.
}, Very few people, however. fully real
ize what really wonderful record Tan
lac 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 its
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 distributed
in the United States and Canada the
exact figures being l,306,lS6 in three
: months.
!, At this rate, therefore. the sales for
= 1.-THE present year will amount to more
: than five million bottles. This will
/. mean that IL 900 bottles of Tanlac will
= be sold during every day of the year, or
. 1nl hot loo for hour of tbn
= age working day
!, These figures are too stupendous for
= the average mind to grasp, but one may
: visualize what twelve million bottles
: means by imagining them laid out in
. a single file end to end. Thus laid they
would make a track of Tanlac from
New York through Chicago, and on to
y Denver Colorado; or they would form
- a double track of Tanlac from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico Piled end
on end they would tower l35 times
=, high as Pixies Peak, or rise 1888 times
u higher than the Woolworth Building in
New York, the tallest building in the
! world.
y The demand for Tanlac has become so
Nv great that its sales instead of being
= measured by the gross as other prepara
:, lions have been, is now reckoned by the
anu even ny tHt tAdiH fodus III
proof of this it is a noteworthy fact
7 that the leading drug jobbers everywhere
now buy Tanlac almost exclusively in
car load lots.
;" To supply the Pacific Coast trade alone
70 requires from forty to fifty car loads per
u year-jobbers of the Middle West are
selling from seventy to eighty cars per
!" year One jobbing concern alone, the
:, Evans Smith Drug Company OF Kansas
iu' City, Missouri, is selling at the rate of
twenty car loads of "a 1000 bottles each
90 per year In letter dated April 10Th.
a. q, Julius NJ. Price of that company says:
=. In figuring the amount of Tanlae sold
III since taking this agency we find that
we are now working the thirteenth
car. having sold more than a quarter of
se a million packages in eight months"
The well known drug firm of Hessig-
. Ellis Drug Company, of Memphis, Ten
-, nessee. has sold over forty car loads
since the introduction of Tanlae in that
me state four years ago. Mr.. +. +. Ellis
ID President of that company is authority
W. for the statement that the demand foI
0c Tanlac has been greater than any other
- five medicines combined.
Within the past ninety days, ten car
loads of Tanlac have gone to supply the
demand of British Columbia, Saskatche-
wan. Alberta and Manitoba.
Mr.. Charles Med Hay President OF
Lyman Brothers & Company, Limited, o.
Toronto. one Of the oldest and best
known iobbing concerns in Canada says
'sWe have handled in Ontario Province
Canada. five car loads of Tanlac since
October. 1918. while our total purchase.
have amounted to II cars within tn,
past two years.
Il TIL. O,,-l Dr,,,, Copopoor of Gan Fran
e cisco. the largest retail druggists on tht
oacifc Coast, state that they have sol'
more than 10000 bottles at retail, whicl
SURPRISES the remarkable record OF thu
Jacobs Pharmacy Company of Atlanta
who have sold approximately 10000 bot
ties at retail.
These enormous sales mean brit or
thing. and that is-Merit.
