Twelve Remaining Members of Pio
neer Musical Contingent Gather
to Revive Pleasant Memories
' and Renew Old Associations.
Memories of the days when no pub-1
lie function in Portland or the North
west waa complete without music by
the First Regiment Marine Band were
revived Saturday night at the annual
reunion dinner of the organisation.
Twelve members of the one-time crack
military band ot the Coast met at
House's restaurant to discuss old times
and recall old associations.
The pioneer First Regiment Marine
Band was the outgrowtn of the regi
mental drum corps, which was formed
n 18S4. It was first called iods-
worth's band. Later it combined with
the marine band, and still later It was
Identified with the First Regiment,
Oregon National Guard. Ralph W.
Hoyt, who la president of the organiza
tion, was leader of the combined ma
rine and Dodsworth's band for many
years, during which it attained fame
as the best band on the Pacific Coast.
Visit to Tacoma Recalled,
From the young cities of Tacoma
and Seattle calls were often sent for
the services of the First Regiment
Marine Band. One of the proudest
memories of the members Is the visit
to Tacoma to play at the opening of the
Northern Pacific Railroad. All the of
ficials of the road were present, as
well as notables from all over the
West. Although the arrival of the first
train created some interest, it Is said
that the Portland band was the real
sensation of the day. At another
time the band Journeyed to Tacoma
with Company G, of the First Regi
ment, which was bent on wresting the
title of marksmanship champions from
the "Seattle Rifles."
The Portland band didn't spend all
Its time running up to the Sound, how
ever, it was too mucn in aeraana ai
home. After Liberati and his band had
played a week's engagement at the
Portland exposition, the marine band
calmly accepted the offer of a second
week's performance, and showed the
foreign bandmaster and his bunch of
horn-looters what the Westerners
could do In the brass band line. So
great was the fame of. Portland's
musicians that when Patrick Gilmore
brought his noted band to the coast.
hi first act on arriving In Portland
was to send the marine band an invi- I
tatlon to attend his concert in a body.
These and other experiences were
recalled at the meeting Saturday night.
How the band attended the hundredth
anniversary of the discovery or the I
mouth of the Columbia River at Astoria
n 1892, the river excursions on the
good ship Alaska, serenades furnished
he Governor and other visiting nota-1
bles all these treasured events were
recalled by the few remaining to tell
of the glories of the organisation.
Some of the members have died with-
n the past year. The meeting adopted
resolutions of sorrow for the deaths
f George Hockenyos, II. G. Willis,
Samuel T. Webster and Captain Mal
colm J. Denny, all one-time members I
of the organization.
After the dinner an election of offi-1
cers for the coming year was held.
Ralph W. Hoyt was re-elected presi
dent and F. A. Seiberling vice-president.
Virgil Coomer waa elected
secretary-treasurer, and Henry Fox,
second vice-president.

grace of a man among friends. Colonel
John Leader, of tne rtoyat irisn nines,
told something; of his experiences in
the war to a large audience in the Cen
tenary Methodist Church last night.
Portlanders have heard speakers who
have been in the trenches a week and

have they had the real thing Drought

quiet warrior, who draws with deft,

I ve been living within tne sound or

man's view of war," said Colonel
Leader. "I am as strong a pacifist as
there Is in this country. Every think
ing soldier is a pacifist. I've seen crim- I
son fields littered with carrion which I
had been my own friends, and it's made I
me hate war and long for the time when
it will be no more.
"There's only one way to make sure
that we'll never have another war, and
that is by having five and twenty mil

trained to hate militarism but able to I
crush it If it should appear. We must

A
FAME OF TANLAC
SPREADS
OVER
ENTIREJATION
Celebrated Medicine Now
Sold From Coast to
Coast and From Gulf to
Great Lakes.
Never before, perhaps. In all his
tory has the demand for a proprle
tary medicine ever aDDroached thi
wonderful record that is now being
maae oy lanlac. the celebrated medi
cine which has been accomDlifihtnK
such remarkable results In all parts
oi tne country.
The old illustration nf the nehhl
dropped Into the doo! best describe
the marveloilR cm w t h nf 1 h a ever.
Increasing demand and its fame has
swept over the entire nation like
great tidal wave.
From coast to coast and from the
gulf to the great lakes. Tanlac
known and honored. Millions have
taken It and have pronounced it the
greatest medicine ever given to the
people, and the only explanation of
Maniacs triumph In the medical
world Is Tanlac s truw worth. Back
of Tanlac s triumph in the drug
stores Is Tanlac's triumph In the
homes. It Is the DeoDle s medicine
and the people themselves have made
xaniac what it is.
Jo matter where you go, Tanlac
is a nousenom word and It is un
questionably the most widely talked
of medicine In the world today. One
person invariably tells another
about a medicine that helps him and
in this way scores or even hundreds
may near of Tanlac as a direct re
suit of one bottle In a single home.
But with all its magnificent sue
cess It remained for the Southern
States to make the most phenomenal
record yet achieved in this country,
and the South alone now requires
considerably over a million bottles
per year.
When asked to exDlaln this rec
ord-breaking demand for Tanlac, Mr.
K. C. Harris, the Tanlac representa
tive, said:
"There can be but one possible ex
planation and it can be told in one
word merit. That tells the whole
story. No preparation, no matter
how extensively advertised, could
possibly meet with such phenomenal
success unless It posessed absolute
merit and extraordinary powers as
a medicine.
HARRIS TELLS WHY
SALES ARE LARGE
It's What the Neighbors
Say That Really Counts,
Says Special Repre
. sentative.
"These enormous sales," said Mr.
K. C. Harris, the Tanlac representa
tive, "mean but one thing, and that
is merit. Tanlac is well advertised,
it is true, but such a large and rap
Idly growing demand could not be
brought about by advertising alone.
It's what the neighbors say that
counts. One bottle is sold in a neigh
borhood through advertising, but
ten more are sold In that community
after that first bottle produces re
sults; and that's right where
Tanlac scores. People are always
willing to talk about their aliments,
but they are more than willing to
tell others of the medicine that helps
them. It's something they couldn't
keeD to themselves if they tried
for the lmnulse to symDathize with
neighbors and want to Iielp them is
one of the strongest as well as one
of the biggest things ia human
nature.'
Tanlac Is producing these re
sults," he continued, "and that Is
why nothing on earth can keep it
out of the homes of the people. It
is not only the most talked about
medicine in the world today, but, in
my opinion, it is the best and most
efficient. And, although prominent
officials and leaders throughout the
country have indorsed Tanlac, its
greatest prestige is firmly based on
the unqualified indorsement of the
masses of the people.
"Not a day nor a week passes that
does not bring hundreds of state
ments from the people concerning
the good this' medicine is doing and
reciting tne circumstances or r
markable cases that would convince
the most skeptical. These are alone
sufficient for Tanlac, bit the figures
are more, ine rigures contained in
these enormous orders speak elo
quently and convincingly of the
great good Tanlac is doing.

Past
More like a tale from the Arabian
rvtehts of old than a record oi a mod
ern business reads the story of the
marvelous erowth and developmen
of Tanlac. which has been the sen
satlon of the drug trade throughou
America.
The first bottle of Tanlac to reach
the public was sold just a little over
three years aeo In the thriving little
city of Lexington. Ky., where 20.000
bottles ot tne medicine were sold
only a few months' time. - Since that
time there nave oeen sold tnrougnou
the United slates and Canada ap-
nroximately 9.000.000 bottles, and
romance which has no parallel in
the modern business world was be
gun.
tne instant and phenomenal suc
cess which Tanlac won in Lexington
has been duplicated in practically
every large city, small town, villag
and hamlet in North America. Hawai
Alaska, Cuba, Porto Rico and other
American possessions have clamored
for xaniac
Fifteen Tralnloada Sold Through
Atlnota Office Alone.
The fact that two hundred and
twenty-three carloads, approximate
ly fifteen trainloads, of Tanlac have
been sold through the Atlanta office
alone in tne past two years seems
almost Incredible, but these are ac
tual figures and such Is the record
established by this wonderful modi
cine.
One retail firm alone, the Jacobs
Pharmacy Company, of Atlanta, has
sold the astonishing total of 73,000
Dotties ngnt in tne city ot Atlanta,
through their eleven stores. What Is
true of Atlanta Is also true of prac
tically every other city oi the south,
East and Middle West, where the
sales have been correspondingly
large.
As a matter or fact, the greatest
drug firms of tne country nave vol
untarily come forward and stated in
plain, cold figures the record-break

owing letters from well - known
wholesale and retail drug firms give
ample evidence of the true worth and

HUGE ORDERS FOR

Big Plant at Dayton, O., Doubles
Capacity; Daily Output of.
30,000 Bottles.
Ten carloads of Tanlac are mov
ing from the laboratories at Dayton,
Ohio, toward the Pacific Coast, in
response to orders given by leading
drug firms of Portland, San Fran
cisco. Los Angeles. Seattle. Butte,
Boise, Salt Lake City, Ogden, Spo
kane, Calgary and Vancouver.
These tremendous orners, ine
largest ever placed in the est and
on the Pacific Coast for a proprie
tary medicine, are to supply the
phenomenal demand for Tanlac in
the West, Canadian Northwest and
Coast cities. The immensity of such
orders can only be realized when it
Is understood that each car or lan-
lac contains 1060 dozen, or 12.700
bottles, the entire ten carloads rep
resenting 127.200 bottles of this cele
brated medicine.
In sneakinsr of the above orders
and of the phenomenal growth and
development of the Tanlac Industry,
Mr. 13. C. Harris, the Tanlac repre
sentative, said:
'Having heard through absolutely
reliable sources of the remarkable
and rapidly growing demand for
Tanlas throughout the United States
and Canada, the leading drug firms
of the West and Pacific Coast did
not hesitate for a moment to accept
the agencies and to assure us of
their hearty co-operation in making
Tanlac just as successful in the far
West as in the South, East and
Middle West.
It is nothing unusual ," continued
Mr. Harris, "for dealers to order a
carload of Tanlac and have orders
for every bottle of It before the car
arrives. In fact, many of the Tanlao
jobbers and distributors invariably
order the second and third cars be
fore the car en route has time to
reach them."
When asked for further Informa
tion regarding his plans. Mr. Harris
said:
Both Mr. Willis and myself have
long regarded Portland' as one of the
best distributing points on the Pa
cific Coast and arrangements are
now being made to establish a
branch office and distributing depot.
snail remain nere long enougn to
uperintend the introduction of
Tanlac, and from what I can see and
ear of your enternrisinK. hustllnir
ity. I do not believe It will be a
great while before Tanlac will be
selling equally as well in Portland
as in other sections of the country."
Mr. Harris declined to state posl-
Ively that an exclusive Portland
gency had been awarded, but inti
mated that an interesting announce
ment along this line might be ex
pected tomorrow.

Dear Sir I find upon reference
to our records that since we became
your distributors for Tanlac in this
territory we have sold to the agents
appointed by you, 75, 648 bottles of
Tanlac, and this in a section long on
territory and short on population.
I must confess that your story of
success with Tanlac in other fields
when you first came to us would
have sounded something like a fairy
tale but for the fact that we had
some advance Information about
what you had done in other terri
tory, and we otherwise would hava
been exceedingly skeptical.
You have made trood all that vou
promised to do in this territory, and
tnen some. At an times you nave
been reasonable and fair in your
methods and can certainly be de
pended upon to carry out anv verbal
or written contract that may be
made with you.
I consider that no dealer will mnlta
a mistake in taking on the distribu
tion ot xaniac in your territory,
Yours very eincerely.

that the day of miracles is past, and
we all know that there are no un
fathomable mysteries in the drug
business, and yet this Tanlac propo
sition smacks of both. For one firm
to be able to sell at the rate of one
carload every two weeks, and for
this record to Keep up until now we
have sold more than 279.900 bottles,
is Just the least you can say, phe
nomenal and bewildering. April, 1917,
was our twelfth month, and we sold
five carloads during that month
alone.
Tanlac Is giving entire satisfac
tion to our trade and is a constant
and regular repeater from the same
eources, and our customers write us
that their demands are persistent in
the way of repeat orders as well as
from new users.
The uniform courtesy and consid
eration the splendid business policy
displayed by Mr. Willis with us as
his wholesale distributors, and
through us our agents, has been
everything that we could ask; and
we wish you continued success and
hope that you will realize on your
wishes to In every way stapleize and
permanently perfect the popularity
and continued sale of Tanlac

Ask the manager of the Tanlac
Company at Dayton, Ohio, and he
will tell you that there are 1060
dozen of Tanlac to the carload, o
12,720 bottles. This means, therefore.
that 335.200 bottles will be shipped
to the west witnin tne next lew
weeks to supply the tremendous de
mand. This is in addition to numer
ous single carload orders received
from the same source during the last
tnirty days.
Although the big Tanlac labora'
tories at Dayton are now capable of
turning out Id.uoo bottles daily, the
rapidly increasing demand has made
it necessary to double their caDacitv
and in a few weeks' time they will
have a daily output of 30.000 bottles,
which is probably the largest in this
country.

Mr. G. F. Willis, International Dis
tributor of Tanlac, Fourth Nation
al Bank Bldg., Atlanta, Ga.:
My Dear Mr. Willis Replying to
your inquiry, we are glad to make
statement of our exact experience
with Tanlac.
When you called on us the latter
part of 1916 we could not compre
hend the extent of business Tanlac
was having, as reported to us from
other states. We had, however, heard
something of Tanlac in the Southern
States near us, and, believing in the
statements as made by you, we
agreed to co-operate and act as your
agent for our immediate territory,
which covers one - quarter of the
State of Texas, though a very
sparsely settled portion. When you
spoke of our buying Tanlac in car
load lots I confess we were a little
bit skeptical.
Although your campaign did not
begin until February, 1917, from
that time until this good day Tanlao
has been the greatest patent medi
cine seller we have ever handled or
had anything to do with. In six
months' time we bought and dis
tributed EIGHT carloads.
We sell these goods net cash, fif
teen days, and so far we have not
lost a single dollar on a Tanlac ac
count. The dealer who secures the
agency for Tanlac is very fortunate.
Indeed. Very respectfully.
