TANLAC MOVES
TO new HOME
Magnificent New LnbGrntOF5 Has
Daily Capacity OF $4,000
Bottles.

What is said to be one of the
largest pharmaceutical Iaborator-
les in the United States has been
completed at Dayton, Ohio, for the
manufacture of Ianlac, the we'll
known medicine which. according
| to recent reports, is now having
the largest sale of any medicine OF
its kind in the world.
| The erection of the new plant
was made necessary by the rapi1
growth of the business, as the old
er plant was found to be wholly
inadequate to supply the ever-in-
creasing demand which at the
present rate of sale will amount to
more than five million bottles for
the present year alone.
BY the erection of this plant the
manufacturers of Tanlac are Civ
ing to the world Just one more evil
dence OF the remarkable growth
| and expansion of their business
and of their absolute confidence in
its future
This announcement will be read
with interest. not only by the many
thousands of Tanlac agents scat
| tered throughout every state of the
union and throughout Canada, but
| to the millions who have used it
| benefcially as we'll.
The new building occupies 1000
square feet of floor space. 1t is
six stories in height, practically
! fire-proof throughout, and is Of
/ striking architectural design. II
also has private railway facilities.
| This beautiful new structure
now stands in striking contrast
I beside the older building where
/ Tanlac was first made.
Visitors to the laboratories are
strongly impressed with the ex-
tremely modern character of the
| equipment. Everything is provid-
ed and splendidly arranged to pro-
mote systematic and rapid produc-
ton. The very latest. machinery
and devices known to invention
and pharmaceutical science are
here used.
The interior throughout is I'm
ished in spotless white, and all OF
the large force of employees wear
white untformsS which tiley arere-
quired to change daily. The main
Offices on the first floor are all fih-
ished in Carara marble and ma
hogany.
The entire process OF manufac-
ture is conducted under absolutely
sanitary conditions Even the boz
ties made expressly to contain Tan
lac are washed and steriRzed cleo
trically by the ultra violet raw
process. They are then filled bv
automatic machinery ard the fin
isbed product is therefore never
touched by human hands.
When Tanlac was introduced
into Canada history repeated itself.
and the demand which had been
created in the United States was
quickly duplicated in the Domin-
ion provinces. AS a result. it was
recently found necessary to estab-
lish another Tanlac laboratory at
Windsor, Canada, which is on a
somewhat smaller scale than the
plant at Dayton, but is no less
modernly equipped
These new facilities give a daily
capacity of $4,000 bottles, but as
Tanlac is rapidly being introduced
into foreign countries it is proba-
bly, only a question OF a few years
before even larger facilities will
become necessary.
While the manufacturers are
necessarily working for capacity |
production. it is a fundamental |
rule of the Tanlac laboratories J
that the quality of the medicine |
shall never be sacrificed to secure
quantity output
Uniform quality is guaranteed |
by a series of careful inspections |
by expert chemists, from the time |
the roots, herbs and barks are re-
ceived in their rough state from |
all parts of the globe until their !
medicinal properties have been ex-
tracted By the most approved pro-
Cesses. The finished medicine is |
then bottled. labeled and shipped |
out to the tens of thousands o. !
druggists throughout the United /
States and Canada, to supply a /
demand never before equalIed for |
this or any other medicine.
The executive sales Offices are
located in Atlanta, Ga, and occupy |
almost an entire floor of the Fourth |
National bank building of that city. |
