Month Factory Is Still 380,000; Behind With Orders. Although the big Tanlac labora- at Dayton, Ohio, and Watker- have heen running at months, it has been to supply the increasing de ville, top speed physical phenomenal and ever mand for this celebrated medicine,’ impe: During the first ten wee of last year One Million Three Hund twent Jac were sold, bre: all, World's record for the sale of. pro} medicines up fo that time. ord now i eceiveil during year reached the hing total of One Million Two Hundred and Twenty Thousand bot- tles, showing an increase of approxi mately one hundred per cent. over the corresponding period of 1919. To say that Taninc now. has the largest. sale of any medicine of its kind in the world éxpresses it mildly. It does not begin to tell the story — for no other preperation has ever even approached the marvelous record that is now being made by Tanlac; and tt is now conservatively estimated that) the sales for the present year alone will amount to from seven to ten mil-' lion bottles. J Of the orders received during .Jan- uary it was possible to ship only eight hundred ‘and thirty-eight thou- sand bottles, and theusands of deal- ers scattered throughout the United | States and Canada have been unable | to obtain the medicine for weeks, “Phenomenal: antl Bewildering” | is the way one of the big drug jobbers of the country describes the marvel- ous demand for Tanlac. “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” writes ‘nother leading wholesale druggist, whose firm has sold over 34 cays loads, or an average of nearly one cay load per month since they began handling Tanlae a few years ago, Thousands of similar letters and tele- grams have heen received, ‘but for Inck of space they can only ‘be referred to briefly. Most proprietary medicines are sold by the dozen or by the Zross; 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 te justify them in ordering not one carload, but from two to three car londs of Tanlac at a time makes Tanlac's' pre-eminence in the/ field of | medicine all the more note-worthy. It ' world and onthing like it has ever and) 1 800,00, “}mon, and pr Enormous is the biggest thing of kind in the happened in the drug trade before, Think of one retail firm selling one- third of a Milion hottles of any one medicine right dver the counter di- rect. to consumers in only two years time! It seems incredible, but such is the record made by the Owl Drng Company, through their retail stores on the Pacific Coast. Think of one retail firm ina city of 20,000 population, selling proximately — eighty-cight — thousand bottles, an average’ of over two bot- tels for every family, in only four Such the record of the Jacobs’ Pharmacy Company, of Atlanta, Think of one retail firm’ giving + single order for an entire car load. twenty-three thousand and forty bet- tles and agreeing to pay cash for the goods promptly on a Such an order has been received from the Lewis K. Ligget Company, of Winni- peg, Canada. | Another big Canadian retail firm, G.-Tamblyn, Limited, Tordno, Can- ada, recently gave their order for one hundred gross, amounting te $10,- 's for from fifty are Hot micom- y all of the leading Taniac. in from ten lots to supply Orders from reta to seventy-fiv retail firms buy to twent ive gross their normal demands. When the magnificent new labora- tories at Dayton, Ohio, and Walker- yille, Canada, with a combined floor space of seventy thousand. square feet ‘and a combined capagity of thirty thousand hottles were completed. it vas thought that the production would be suflicient to supply: the demand: for years to come, It is now apparent, however, that additional — facilit: {must be provided if the supply is to i keep pace with the demand And this is true in spite of the fact that there are now on the market from f to one hundred preparations claiming , Similiar therapeutic yalue. Tanlac has now been on the mark 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 Nerth- ern wilds of Canada, where even the Indians and Fur Traders have learn- ed of its wonderfol péwers as a medi- cine, Its, enormous and ever-inc ing. popularity ix 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 preduce 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 Foed and Health Laws of both the United States.and Canada, and ‘although Tanlac’s Gains for superior- ity are abundantly supported by lead- ing authorities, it is the people them- selves who have made Tanlace what it is. Millions upod 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. Tanlac is sold in Bismarck by Jos. Breslow in Drisc H. and N. D, Barrette and in Wing H. P.

This coal does not clinker and well contains less sulphur |4 and ash than any other coal mined in North Da- fires in Montana, this vear, ing considerable attention. The main ditticulty in the past has been that many of the worst. fires, arising in inaccessivle spots, could not be yeached in time to check them There have been instances where. crews have been ten days cutting a trail ‘to the fires, Even when this rude path is completed, bringing up fresh men and supplies has been slow and difficult, Dirigibles can land men in nearby camps in w# few hours and bring sup- plies daily, it is claimed, For scouting, the intention js to ‘use planes and under plans said to be in contemplation, the heavier-than-air machines will also experiment ‘in dropping bombs full ‘of gases thea quench fire. In Montana, the federal forest ser vice and the state forest service are to co-operate in this experiment and it expected other states lying in the for- est fire areas eventually will pursuc the same course. One problem puzzles officials. Will the average fire-tighter go up in a dirigible? DICKSON REAPPOINTED Register ‘at’ Dickinson Land Office Retains Jobs Dickinson, N. D.. Feb. 16.—-Witliam B.
