who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subjoined
card.
The Messrs. Heidsieck 6S Co., as set forth there
in Justly claim to be alone enabled to send to this
country the genuine Heidsieck 81 Co. Champagne,
under the same name and style as originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago. they being sole proprietors 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 Heidseck " Co., In
full, by which it first became so favorably known:
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.

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
