WORLDS Records
BROKEN BY TANLAC
The Bottles Sold in Four Years
Would Reach From New
York to Denver, Colo.

Four years ago very few peopl,
had ever heard of Tanlac. Today i
unquestionably has the largest sal,
of any medicine in the world, and j.
as well known in Canada as in thi.
country. In the brief period Of onl,
four years time this now famous rem.
edy has leaped from obscurity to tn,
very pinnacle of success. Its fame ir
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
realize what wonderful record Tan
lac has made. Indeed, if it were not
for the unquestionable facts and fig
ures given out by che 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 dstribu
ted in the United States and Canada.
the exact figure being 1,3O6,186 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 1900 bottles of Tanlac
will be sold during every day of the
year, or 2100 bottles for every hour
of the average working day.
These figures are too stupendous
for the average mind to grasp, but
one may visualize what twelve million
bottles mean by imagining them laid
out in single file end to end. Thus,
laid they would make track of Tan
lac from New York through Chicago
and on to Denver, Colorado; or they
would form 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 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 it's sale instead Of being
measured by the gross as other prep
arations have been is now reckoned
by the car load. In proof of this it is
a noteworthy fact that the leading
drug jobbers everywhere now buy
Tanlac almost exclusively in car load
lots. To supply the Pacific coast
trade alone requires forty to fifty car
loads per year Jobbers of the middle
west are selling from seventy to eigh-
ty car loads per year.
The well-known firm of Hessig-El-
lis Drug Company of Memphis, Tenn,
has sold over forty car loads since the
introduction of Tanlac in that state
four years ago.
Within the past ninety days, ten
car loads have gone to supply the de-
mand of British Columbia, Saskach-
evan, Alberta, and Manitoba, Canada.
The Owl Drug Co. of San Francis
CO, the largest retail druggists on the
Pacific Coast, state that they have
sold more than 10000 bottles at re-
tail.
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 and unprecedented sue
cess.
Tanlac is sold in Cedar City by the
Cedar City Drug Store and in Paro-
wan by the Parowan Drug Co.
