new TANLAC PLANT
IS NOW COMPLETED
Magnificent New Laboratory Has
Daily Capacity of
$4,000 Bottles.

What is said to be one of the larges
Pharmaceutical laboratories in thu
United States has been completed a
Dayton, Ohio, for the manufacture o
Tanlac, the well-k1own medicine
which according to recent reports il
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 rapid growtE
of the business, as the older plant wa:
found to be wholly inadequate to sup
ply the ever-incrcasing demand which
at the present rate Of sale will amount
to more ti.an five million bottles fol
the present year aloGe.
By the erection of this plant the
manufacturers Ct Tanlac are giving tC
the world just one more evidence OF
the remarkable growth and expansion
of their business, and Of their absolute
confidence in its future.
This announcement viii be read with
interest not only by the many thous-
andS of Tanlac agents scattered
throughout every state of the Union
and throughout Canada, but to the
millions who have used it beneficially
as well.
The new building occupies 10000
square feet Of floor space. 1t is six
stories in height, practically fire
proof throughout, and is of striking
architectural design. 1t also has
private railway facilities.
This beautiful new structure now
stands il striking contrast beside the
older building whore Tanlac was first
made.
Visitors to the laboratories are
strongly impressed with the extremely
nfodern character of the equipment.
Every thing is provided and splendid
ly arranged to promote systematic and
rapid production. The very latest
machinery and devices known to in
vsntion and pharmaceutical science are
here used.
The interior throughout is finished
in spotless white, and all Of the large
force of employees wear white uni
forms, which they are required to
change daily. The main offices on the
first floor are all finished in Carara
marble and mahogany.
The entire process of manufacture
is conducted under absolutely sanitary
conditions. Even the bottles made
expressly to Contain Tanlac are washed
and sterilized electrically by the ultra
violet ray process. They are then
filled by automatic machinery and the
finished 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 Dominion Provinces.
AS a result, it was recently found
necessary to establish 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 daily
capacity of $4,000 bottles, but as Tan
lac is rapidly being introduced into
foreign countries it is probably only
a question of a few years before even
larger facilities will become neces-
sary.
While the manufacturers are neces-
sarily working for capacity production,
it is a fundamental ale of the Tanlac
laboratories 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 banks are received in their
rough state from all parts IF the globe
until their medicinal properties have
been extracted by the most approved
processes. The finished medicine is
then bottled, labelled, and shipped out
to the tens of thousands of druggists
throughout the United States and
Canada, to supply demand never be-
fore equalled for this or any other
medicine.
The executive sales offices are locat-
ed in Atlanta, Georgia, and occupy
almost an entire floor of the Fourth
National Bank Building of that
city. AoV'
