WORLDS RECORD is
BROKEN BY TANLAC
BOTTLES SOLD IN FOUR YEARS
WOULD REACH FROM NEW
YORK TO DENVER

Four years ago very few people had
ever heard of Tanlac. Today it I'M
questionably has the largest sale of any
medicine in the world, and is as well
known in Canada as in this country.
in the brief period of only four years
time this now famous remedy has
leaped from obscurity TO the very pin
nacle of success. Its fame i'm fact has
long since spread beyond the limits
of the continent and numerous in
quiries regarding it are now being re-
ccived from many foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully re-
alize what really wonderful record
Tanlac has made. Indeed, if it werc
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 distrib
uted in the United States and Canada,
the exact figure being l,306,lS6 in
three months.
At this rate, therefore, the sales for
the present year viii amount to more
than five million bottles. This will
mean that 1900 bottles of Tanlac
will be sold during every hour of the
average working day.
These figures are too stupcndOus for
the average mind to grasp, but one |
may visualize what twelve million |
bottles mean by imagining them laid |
out in a single file end to end. Thus |
laid they would make a track Of Tan |
lac from New York through Chicago, |
and on to 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 1875 times as high as Pixies
Peak, or raise 1888 times higher than
the Woolworth Building in New York,
the tallest building in the world.
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 car load, and even by the
train load. In proof of this it is a
noteworthy fact that the Leading
drug iobbers everywhere now buy Tan
lac almost exclusively in car load lots.
To supply the Pacific coast trade alone
requires from forty to fifty car loads
per vear-,Jobbers of the Middle West
arc 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 ear loads
since the introduction of Tanlac in
that state four years ago.
Within the past ninety lays, ten
ear loads of Tanlac have gone to sup
ply the demand of British Columbia
Saskatchewan, Alberta and Manitoba,
Canada
The Owl Drug Company of San
Francisco, the largest retail druggists
on the Pacific coast state that they
have sold more than 10000 bottles 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 its phenomenal
md unprecedented success.
Tanlac is sold in Grangeville by
Drug Co., in Cottonwood by
Turner Drug Store, and in Warren by
Warren Supply Co. (Adv.)
