call the aiientioRo Of the public TO the subjoined

The Messrs Heidsieck & Co., as set forth there

country the genuine Heidsieck G 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 HeIdsieck q Co, IN
full by which it first became 80 favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other sni-
lar marks which have since appeared.
