ENORMOUS " DEMAND FOR TANLAC ‘Although Huge Laboratories - Turn Out 36,000 Bottles Daily Thousands of Dealers Cannot Be Supplied. 40 CARLOADS SOLD 3 IN JANUARY ALONE After Shipping 838,400 Bottles of Celebrated ‘Medicine in One Month Factory Is Still .- 380,000 Behind With Orders. Although the 'big Tanlac labora- ‘tories at Dayton, Ohio, and Walker- -ville, Canada, have been running at ‘top speed for months, it has been a physical impossibility to supply the phenomenal and every increasing de- mand for this celebrated medicine. _During the first ten wéeks of last year One Million Three Hundred and twehty-seven thousand bottles of Tan- lac were sold ,breaking all world’s record for the sale of proprietary medicines up to that time. This record now pales into insignificance, however, as orders received during January alone of this year reached the astonishing total of One Million Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand bottles, showing an increase of ap- proximately one hundred per cent over the corresponding period of 1919. To say that Tanlac now has the largest sale of any medicine .of its kind in the world expresses it mildly. It does not begin to tell the story—! for no other preparation has ever| even approached the marvelous record that is now being made by Tanlac; and it is now conservatively estimated that the sales for the present year alone will amount to from seven to ten million bottles. Of the orders received during Jan-; possible to ship only| sand bottles, and thousands of deal- ers scattered throughout the United to obtain the medicine for weeks. “Phenomenal and -Bewildering” is| the way one of the big drug jobbers' of the country describes the marvel- “We know that the day of miracles ! has passed, and we all know that there are no unfathomable mysteries in the drug business, but this Tanlac proposition smacks of both, wires another leading wholesale druggist, whose firm has sold over 34 car loads, .or an average of nearly one car load per month since they began handling Tanlac a few years.ago. Thousands| of similar letters and telegrams have been received, but for lack of space they can only be referred to briefly. Most proprietary medicines are sold by the dozen or by the gross; a few are bought by the trade in quantities of from ten to twenty gross; a very few are sold by the car load, and then only to the largest jobbers, covering extensive territories. The fact there- fore that scores of jobbers in this country and Canada have a demand sufficient to justify them in ordering not one carload, but from two to three car loads of Tanlac at a time Think of one retail firm selling one- third of a million bottles of any one medicine right over the counter di- rect to consumers in only two years’ time! It seems incredible, but such is the record made by the Owl Drug Company, through their retail stores i on the Pacific Coast. - Think of one retsil firm in a single | city of 200,000 population, selling ap- proximately eighty-eight thousand bottles, an average of over two bot- tles for every family, in only four|} Such is the record of | years 'time! the Jacobs’ Pharmacy Company of Atlanta. 2 g Think of one retail firm giving a single order for an entire car load, twenty-three thousand and forty bot- tles and agreeing to pay cash for the goods promptly on arrival. Such an order has been received from the Lewis K. Liggett Company, of Winni- peg, Canada. . Another big Canadian retail firm, G. Tamblyn, Limited, Toronto, Can- ada, recently gave their order for one hundred gross, amounting to $10,- 800.00. Orders from retailers for from fifty to seventy-five gross are not uncom- mon, and practically all of the lead- ing retail firm buy Tanlac in from ten to Twenty-five gross lots to supply their normal demands. When the magnificent new labora- tories at Dayton, Ohio, and Walker- ville, Canada, with a combined, floor space of seventy thousand square feet and a combined capacity of thirty- six thousand bottles were completed, it was. thought that the production would be sufficient to supply the de- mand for years to come. It is now apparent, however, that additional facilities must be provided if the sup-’ ply is to keep pace with the demand. And this is true in spite of the fact that there are now on the market from fifty to one hundréd prepara- tions claiming similar therapeutic value. Tanlac has now been on the market for five years. It has stood the acid test of time. It is known and hon- ored in every city, town, village, and hamlet on the American Continent from Key West, Florida, to the Nor- thern wilds of Canada, where even the Indians and Fur Traders have learned of its wonderful powers as a medicine. . Its enormous and ever-increasing popularity is the one great outstand- ing proof of its wonderful merit. No medicine, no matter how extensively advertised, could sell and continue to sell and establish new world’s records year after year, if it did not produce actual and positive results.’ Tanlac is composed of the most beneficial roots and herbs known to the scientific world. The formula conforms with all National and State Pure Food and Health Laws of both the United States and Canada, and although Tanlac’s claims for superior- ity areeabundantly supported by lead- ing authorities, it is the people them- selves who have made ‘Tanlac what it is. Millions upon millions have used it and have told other millions what it has done for them. That is why Tanlac has become the real sensation of the drug trade all over America. : makes Tanlac’s pre-eminence in the field of medicine all the more note- worthy. It is the biggest thing of jts kind in the world and nothing like it has ever happened in the drug trade before. g o Tanldc is sold -in Bemidji by the City Drug Store, in Kelliher by Mrs. R.

Property owners, by multiplying the frontage of their lots by the figures applying to their streets, can secure the cost, which will be spread over a term of fifteen years. The greater part of the pavement will be 18 feet in the outlying district, 30 to 32 feet in the better resi- dence districts, and 40 to 52 feet in the business district. In case the Babcock Law does not pass, the cost will be $2.70 a foot more than the figures given.

The paving will be needed some day and by paving now, there is the possibility of securing the refund " from the state. FOR EXAMPLE—A man in Nymore owning a 25 ffoot lot on the paving route would, in case the Babcock Law passed, pay only the general tax of less than .7 of a cent per $1 of assessed valuation. # If the Babcock Law does not pasé, he would pay the slight general tax, plus $67.50, which could be spread over fifteen years, or a trifle over $4 per year for his paving. A man living on the route where the paving was to be 30 feet would pay the genera] tax a{nd, if he owned a 25 foot lot, would pay $45 if the Babcock Law passed and $112,50 if it did not—$3 a year for fifteen years if the Babcock Law passes, an dless than $7 a year if it does not.
