DEMAND FOR TANLAG
ALMOST INCREDIBLE
Big Laboratories at Dayton Unable to Supply Enormous
Demand—Capacity Increased to Thirty Thousand Bot-
tles Daily—Dealers and Jobbers Clamoring for It—
Branch Plants to be Established Throughout United
States and Canada.
(( TUST tell the people'to have a little patience and we will soon be able
1 to supply the demand for Tanlac
•'This was the message recently flashed from the offices of 0. F. Willis,
the Southern and Western distributor of Tanlac at Atlanta, Georgia.
The message was sent out in response to the urgent telegrams, letters
and long distance phone calls which have been pouring into his offices from
the leading dealers and drug jobbers from all parts of the South and West,
complaining that the demand for Tanlac was greatly in excess of the
supply.
In a Inter statement Mr. Willis snld:
“This condition was brought about
not only by the enormous demand for
Tanlac but by the congested condition
of the railroads.
“When It seemed nlmost certain
that the threatened nation-wide ruU-
road strike would go Into effect we
made arrangements to keep our prin-
cipal distributors supplied by express
Over one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars
was spent for express charges In a
single day on Texas aud Oklahoma
orders alone.
Working at Top Speed.
“Although the 14g Tanlac laborato-
ries at Dayton, Ohio, have been run-
ning at top speed turning out their
full capacity of approximately twenty-
five thousand bottles per day, we have
been wholly unable to meet the de-
mand for Tanlac which has been cre-
ated during the past two years.
"In addition to the Dayton laborato-
ries with their enormous output the
Cooper Medicine Company Is now plan-
ning to establish branch plunts In the
Central West, on the West coast and
In the Dominion of Canada, and unless
International complications make it
Impossible for us to secure the numer-
ous Ingredients in the way of roots,
herbs, barks, etc., muny of which come
from remote parts of the globe, we
will be able to take care of any future
demand.”
The wonderful growth and develop-
ment of Tanlac has been the marvel of
the commercial world and the amaz-
ing success achieved by the prepara-
tions seems nlmost Incredible.
What Dealers Say.
In only two years’ time over seven
and one-half million bottles have been
sold and the demand Is constantly In-
creasing. Although placed on the mar-
ket In Texas and Oklahoma but a few'
months ago practically a third of a
million bottles have already been sold
and thousands have been unable to ob-
tain It on account of the Inability of
the laboratory to supply It.
Dealers and jobbers have been al-
most frantic because of their inabil-
ity to fill the thousands of orders they
have been receiving and the following
letters and telegrams from well known
firms gave ample evidence of the won-
derful growth and popularity of Tan-
lac:

My Dear Buck:
If there la one of the fish family
that we remember from the knee-
pants and bent-pin stage of the fishing
game, it sure must be 01' Judge Pick-
erel and the young “picks.” It cer-
tainly made your heart do a double-
quick and started the cold creeps up
your spine, the first time you hooked
a pickerel, after a kindergarten course
on chubs and sunnies. You probably
had a long cane pole or a ycung sap-
ling cut from the nearby wooded shore;
anyway, from that time on you real-
ized that there was “some sport” to
the game. Since then, of course, the
ol’ pickerel has been sorta dropped
into the discard, and it takes trout,
bass or muskie, perhaps, to start the
joy trips up along your vertebrae. But
let me tip you off straight, Buck,
there’s many a good fighter left in the
pickerel outfit, regardless of the many
slurs cast upon his fighting qualities
by some of the ultra-exclusive high-
brows in the angling derby.
Find Pickerel Most Anywhere.
The pickerel is one of the fiBh that
you can fish for nearly anywhere, and
you don't have to make a five hundred
to one thousand mile trip to his "home
grounds.” He is a common, ordinary
cuss that can pick up a living on next
to nothing, and at the same time raise
a mighty big family. In nearby "civi
lized” waters he will even make a
sure-enough professional fisherman sit
up and take notice at his ability to
evade the bait and make said fisher-
man use all his skill and wits to in-
duce him to take the lure. The more
he is fished for the wiser he gets, and
to land a few fair-sized pickerel in
much-fished waters takes keen woyk.
more so than for the gamer fish in the
usual fish haunts of the North woods
As a rule the pickerel found in local
waters does not grow to excess size,
say an average of two or three pounds.
Some are larger, of course, but not the
general run.
Where the Pickerel Hangs Out
The pickerel from the running
streams, like all other fish, puts up
the best fight, while those from the
warmer waters of the lakes and slug
gish streams are dull and slow fight- :
ers. The pickerel is found in nearly
all rivers and lakes or ponds, his pref-
erence being for shallow, grassy lakes.
His main hunting grounds are along
the edge of lily and weed beds and on '
the outskirts of the grassy growth 1
that is often called “pickerel grass.” j
Here he lurks, waiting for the smaller j
fish to swim past, often striking his
prey with a snap of the jaws that cuts j
the victim in twain. He is a sure- j
enough barbarian, and is a destroyer I
of the weaker fishes, all of which |
points to the fact that he will be with
us for many a day. He is vicious to
the core, and at times will strike a
trolling spoon with force enough to
bend it double. In spring-fed lakes he
is often found around the spring-holes,
and deep fishing here will bring him
out. You can feel reasonably sure of
landing him any time from the first
of the season to the windup, and then
take a rap at him through the ice in
winter.
Needs Dentist In August.
August is about the poorest month
for pickerel fishing, causod, no doubt,
by the soreness of the gums, as
claimed by many of the old-timers.
The “muskie," a cousin of the pick-
erel, loses his teeth In August, while
the pickerel itself has a swelling of
the gums during dogdays that does
not put him in a humor to bite on any-
thing. Late September and early Oc-
tober is about the best all round pick-
erel season, at which time he is found
in the shallows, at the mouth of out-
lets or inlets, where the feed is good.
Troll and Cast for Him.
Although trolling is the surest meth-
od of landing the pickerel, much
sport can be had by casting for him.
using light bass tackle. A weedless
hook with a small frog, shiner or min-
now for bait, and a single spinner is
all you need. Row along the weed-
beds, about seventy-five feet out and
cast in toward tho edge, landing your
bait about five feet from the edge.
Give the pickerel a little time before
striking as he grabs the live bait and
darts back to his lair, there to turn
it around in his mouth and swallow it
head first. Strike sharply and row
away from the w’eeds. Bear this In
mind: he may come up to the boat
with ease, but he makes his big
effort for liberty after you bring him
up to the boat.
The usual way to get him is by
