ti;, representing the internation
al Distributor of Tanlac, a few
lays ago "Tnese firms," con
tinued Mr. Harris, "gave their
order for an er.tire carload of
I'anlac several weeks ago and
have just received same. 1 his
c.ir comprises 1000 dozen, 12,720
bottles, and is without doubt,
tin? largest order ever given by
North Carolina dealers for a
new preparation, but having
heard through absolutely reliable
sources of the remarkable and
rapidiy gro'ving demand for lan
lac io other cities, these firms
i!iii not hesitate to place on order
for tin.: above above amount
"In only a few weeks' time
I'anlae will he placed on sale in
practically every large city,
town, village and hamlet in the
state of North Carolina
"A number of agencies al

desire that the distribution h"
made more complete and far-1
