who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention Of the public to the subjoined
card.
The Messrs. Heidsieck & Co., as SET forth there
in justly claim to be alone enabled send to this
country the genuine Hedsieck & Co. Champagne,

duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago. they being sole proprieors Of all the identical
vineyards, cellars, &C., which the founders and
originators 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 simi-
lar marks which have since appeared.

OF New York, Boston, and Philadelphia, fifty thou

There is no blessing like that of health particu-
