G. +. Willis, Atlanta, Ca:
My Dear Mr.. Willis-Replying to your
inquiry we are glad to make statement
of our exact experience with Tanlae.
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 Tan
lac 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 ne-quarter of the state of Texas,
though a very sparsely settled portion
When you spoke of our buying Tanlac IN
carload lots | confess we were little bit
skeptical.
Although your campaign did not begin
until February. 1917, from that time
until this good day Tanlac has been the
greatest patent medicine seller we have
ever handled In six months time we
bought and distributed eight carloads.
We sell these goods net. cash, fifteen
DAYS, and so far we have not lost Gin
gle dollar on Tanlac account The
dealer who secures, the agency for Tan
lac is very fortunate indeed.

Dear Sir-Our sales record so far ex-

remedy that we have ever had TO do
with. that Tanlac is in a class by itself.
We have received and distributed to the
retail drug trade 1877 1892 bottles, or near
ly p cars, being one car month since
the account was opened, and sales seem
to be on the increase.
] must confess that your story of sue
cess with Tanlae in other fields when
you first came to us would have sound
ed something like a fairy tale but for
the fact that we had some advance in
formation about what you had done in
other territory, and we otherwise would
have been exceedingly skeptical.
You have made good all that you
promised to do in this territory, and then
some. At all times you have been rea-
sonable 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.
Yours very sincerely,

The emergencies of war created

with great sums of money and these

For this reason, in the campaign

Red Cross is stressing not money but

TO supply the phenomenal demand Tor

and coast cities. The immensely of such
orders can only be realized when it is
understood that each car of Tanlae con-
tains upwards of 1860 dozen or 1900
bottles, the entire ten carloads represent
ing minimum of l27 900 bottles of this
celebrated medicine
In speaking of the above orders and of

enormous SALES

These enormous sales" says G. F.
Willis. international distributor of Tan
lac, mean but one thing and that is
merit. Tanlac is well advertised, it is
true, but such large and rapidly grow
ing demand could not be brought about
by advertising alone. It's what the
neighbors say that counts. J. One bottle
is sold in neighborhood through adver
Using, but ten more are sold in that
community after the first bottle produces
scores. People are always willing to talk
about their ailments, but they are more
than willing to tell Others of the medi-
cine that helps them. It's something
they couldn't keep to themselves if they
tried. for the impulse to sympathize with
neighbors and want to help them is one
of the strongest as well as one of the
biggest things in human nature.
"Tanlac is producing these results,
he. continued "and that is why nothing
on earth can keep it 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, although prominent
| officials and leaders throughout the coun

prestige. is firmly based on the unquali
