WORLDS RECORD IS
BROKEN By TAMAC
Bottles Sod . -Four Years
Would Reach From New
York to Denver, Colo.

-Four years ago very few people haa
ever heard Of Tanlae. Today ii un-
questionahly has the largest sale of any
medicine in the wozld, ard is as wesrl
known in Canada as in this country. In
the brief period Of only four years
time this now famous remedy has leap
ed from obscurity the very pinaele Of
success. It's fame in fact, has loag since
spread beyond the limits Of the eonti-
nent, and numerous inquiries regarding
it are now being received from many
foreign countries.
Very few people, however, fully real
ize what really wonderful record Tan
lac has made. Indeed, if it were not
for the unquestionabie facts and figures
given ont 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
Tanlae 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 distribut-
I ed in the United States and Canada,
the exact figure being 1.306,f76 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 day Of the year,
or 2l,000 bottles every hour of the av-
erage working day.
These figures are too stupendous for
the average mind to grasp, but one
may visualize what twelve million bot
ties mean by imagining them laid out
in single file end to end. Thus laid
they would make a track of Taniae
from New York through Chicago, anu
on to Denver, Colorado; or they would
: form a double track Of Tanlac from the
: Great Lakes to the Gulf Of Mexico. Pil
ed end on end they would tower 135
/ times as high as Pixies Peak, or rise Is,
!, 1888 times higher than the Woolwortf
building in New York, the tallest build
| ing in the world.
: The demand for Tanlac has become
, 90 great that its sale instead Of being
measured by the gross as other prepa
rations have been, is now reckoned by
| load. In proof of this II is a notewor
thy fact that the leading druggist job
bers everywhere now buy Tanlac al
most exclusively in ear load lots. II
supply the Pacific coast trade alone re
Iquires from forty to fifty car load
per year-jobbers Of tho middle ives
are selling from seventy to eighty car
per year.
The well known drug firm Of Hessie
$ Ellis Drug company Of Memphis, Tenr
1 essee, has sold oven forty ear load
k since the introduction Of Tanlac In tina
state four years ago.
? Within the past ninety days, ten ca
loads of Tanlac have gone to suppl
the demand Of British Columbia, Sai
g katchewan, Alberta and ManitobI
: Canada.
The Owl Drug company of San Frai
cisco, the largest retail druggists o
the Pacific coast, state that they hav
sold more than 10000 bottles at n
i, tail. which surpasses the remarkab
record OF INt JdtVbo haih ihoNt NN''
pany Of Atlanta, who have sold a
proximately 10000 bottles at retail.
