Worlds Record Is
Broken By Tanlac
Bottles Sold In Four Years Would
Reach From New York to Dem
YER, Colo.

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 obscure
ty to the very pinnacle of sue
cess. It's fame in fact, has long
since spread beyond the limits of
the continent, and numerous in
quiries regarding it are now be-
ing received from many foreign
countries.
Very few people, however,
fully realize what really won
derful record Tanlac has made.
Indeed, if it were not for the un-
questionable 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 Taniac amounted to ap-
proximately twelve million bot
ties. The demand, however, is
increasing, for during the first
ten weeks of this year over one
million bottles were sold and dis.
tributed in the United States and
Canada the exact figure being L.
3O6, 1876 in three months.
AT this rate, therefore, the
sales for the present year will
amount to more than five million
bottles. This will mean that
1000 bottles of Tanlac will be
sold during every day of the
year, or 2l00 bottles for every
hour of the average working
day.
These figures are too stipend
Gus for the average mind to
grasp but one may visualize what
twelve million bottles mean by
imaging them laid out in single
file end to end. Thus laid they
would make a track of Tanlac
from New York through Chica-
go, and on to Denver, Colo; or
they would make form a double
track of Tanlac from the Great
Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico.
Piled end on end they would
tower 1876 times as high as Pixies
Peak, or rise Is, 1873 times high
er than the Woolworth Building
in New York; the talIest build
ing in the world.
The demand for Tanlac has
become so great that its sale in
stead of being measured by the
gross as other preparations have
been is now reckoned by the
carload, and even by the train
load. In proof of this it is q
noteworthy fact that the lead
ing drug jobbers everywhere
now buy almost exclusively in
car load lots. To supply the
Pacific coast trade alone requires
from forty to fifty car loads per
year. Jobbers of the Middle
West are selling from seventy
to eighty cars per year.
The well known drug firm of
Hessig-Elhs Drug Company of |
Memphis, Tenn, has sold over |
forty car loads since the intro
duction of Tanlac in that state !
four years ago.
Within the last ninety DAYS. |
ten car loads of Tanlac have gone |
to supply the demand of British |
Columbia, Saskatchewan, Alber-
Ia and Manitoba. Canada

on the Pacific Coast. |
state that they have sold more |
than 10000 bottles at retail |
which surpasses the record of |
