p. Matlry, Jr., sole Agent for

During the last two years that have been
acting as Agent for the sale of the Heidsieck
& Co.'s Champagne, frequent enquiries have
been made of me whence it arose, that there
existed two brands Of this well known wine.
To explain this matter satisfactorily, beg
to call the attention of the public to the fol-
lowing facts:
The original manufacturer of the ce ebrated
Hedsieck Champagne, died in 1928, and after
his death his business was continue by his
two nephews, one of whom continued to re
side on the same spot and to cultivate the
same vineyards, while the other established
himself some distance from the original place
each carrying on an entirely distinct business;
the former under his uncle's firm, ''Heidsieck
& Co ;" the latter under the name of ''He d
sieck'
Mr.. Christian Held ieck the nephew who
had removed from the place where his uncle
had originally esta blished himself died m
1885, and his widow married % Mr.. Piper,
who now continues to manufacture wine
which he styles ''Heidsieck,' being only the
successor of Mr. Christian Hedsieck. which
in reality is not continuation of the old and
I original firm, and cannot therefore be con
sidered as the genuine brand.
The above statement clearly explains the
discrepancy which has hitherto existed, and
no one will dispute the right of the nephew
who Inherit ed vineyards and continued on the
same spot where Mr.. Heidseck first establish
ed himself to manufacture the wine for which
he became SO justly celebrated-to be looked
upon as the sole producer of the Heidsieck
champagne, and it is for the sale of this wine

Champagne Mes,rs Heidsieck and Co, have
given me their most positive assurance that
this wine is of the best quality and possesses
a most agreeable flavor, in fact, highly supe-
rior to any ever imported into California.
This lot of champagne. and those which will
follow by the French ship Noise, Sacramento,
etc, now on their way from Havre, will prove
to be such that will give entire and general
satisfaction to all those who know how to ap
preciate q good article. Truly, these lots
cannot but tend to increase still more the
world renowned fame enjoyed by my honor
able friends, Messrs Heidsieck and Co, and /
feel perfectly convinced also the patronage
hitherto so literally and justly shown to Held

TO avoid, for the future, the Importation into
this market of spurious article, Messrs Held
sleek and Co, will stamp their name in full
upon the cap, and on the cork inside of each
bottle, the only alteration in the labels being
the addition Of my name as their sole agent
in California. All champagne market Held
