The Heaviest Transaction
Ever Mad* i> the Untied States in the

[From Atlanta Journal.j
For 8 man has
heard the ruor that the Blood Balm Com
pany of this e#y, had sold the apormoua ytm
of one hundred and Iwenty thousand dollars
orfch of their famous blood and skin remedy
to one man.
The report wfca hard to b!iuve, and deter
mining: to in ’ofttigate tho matter and learn
the truth, the reporter called at the buamess
office of the company . On entering the office
the Journal man was confronted by Dr.
J. P. Drum goo] e, tho manager of Blood Balm
Go.: to whom the reporter made known the
object of his viait.
“Yes, sir,” fcpliod lho doctor, os a smile
illumined h s face, “the report is true."
“Grapious the scribe.
“The control is signed."
“Who buys it ?”
“Mr. J. W. Holman, of Denver, Colorado."
“Doctor, how many gross for'that con
tract?"
“Oyer two thousand. The freight alone
will amount to over $33,000. M
“l>o you pay freight?"
“No, sir; the party pays his own freight
bills."
‘Tell me something about the geutleman
who bought the medicine Vf
“He is a thorough business mao, and a
capitalist of Urge means, of Denver, Colora
do. Hearing ef the wonderful effipacy and
the gigantic sales of B. B. 8., and being a
gentleman of ueen business sense, ho con
ceived the plan of buying at a stipulated
price end controlling seven of the Northwest
ern States and territories, including Colora
do. He visited Atlanta Nveral weeks ago,
and propositions have been so shaped that
we have contract, which We pre
sume is the largest patent medicine sale ever
made in the United States."
“It Is no commission arrangement ?"
“No, sir; a a<|tMre strni htout sale. Kvory
bottle to be pnta for before being shinned.’
“Do your salea continue to increase TANARUS”
“Yes, sir: B. D. B. sells right alopgj tbe
demand rapidly Increasing wheto fairly test
ed. At many points it aimpiy wiped out all
other blood remedies. Our cures are simp y
wonderful, and one great feature is, the
Blood Balm Company is not compelled to de
nounce other remedios in order to vindicate
our own. Vf* claim there is room for all,
while oura is the best,"
“Your big ale would suggest that its rep
utation Is becoming wor!d wide,"
“We bay*Ho llaed Any Urge amount of
money to purtTour remidy.and although only
seventeen nfcjtbs old, It i* now known far
and wide anfrireeps ws humping to supplr

“Any apeclal raa lately ?"
