Mr.. Charles Engler, heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale Of their Wines,
who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public TO the subjoined
card.
The Messrs. Hedsleck Il Co., as set forth there
in Justly claim to be alone enabled TO send TO this
country the genuine Heidsieck & Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago, they being sole propretors of all the identical
vineyards cellars, &C.. which the founders and
orginators of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality of their Wines the reputation OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidsieck & Co.. in
full, by which it first became so favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other smi-
lar marks which have since appeared.

firm, Heidsieck 81 Co., in 1884, the senior partner
who had the sole charge of its liquidation, con-
tinued the business, retaining exclusive possession
of the vineyards, vaults, &C., which the origina
partnership had enjoyed
Our new firm are his Immediate successors and
sole propretors ofthis we-known brand
In order to distinguish the same from limitations
and marks similar TO our own which have ap-
peared and may hereafter appear in this market
the name of our firm in full will be found on the
labels and around the corks.

To C. E. Damold President ~ J. Zinc Co., ~ Y.
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
10 the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnaces, whilst no other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject TO the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates, in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty to give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance to b. kept from the naval and commercial
world. / am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
JAMES JARVIS, :
