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
orignators Of this celebrated brand had owned.
Such being the fact, we need not dwell upon the
superior quality Of their Wines, the reputation oi
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 IL Co., in
full, by which il first became so favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH

In order TO distinguish the same from limitations

the name of our firm in full will be found on the

barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.

Of which illustrates. in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority of
your White Nnc Paint over all other kinds of
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty TO give full publicity to the
