NJ pagne.-The subscribers having been APP

Mr.. Charles Engler, heretofore sole agent IN the

who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention Of the public TO the subJoined
card.
The Messrs Heidsleck S1 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 proprietors 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 On
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 Hcldseck & Co, In
full, by which it first became SO favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other simi
lar marks which have since appeared.

who had the sole charge of its liquidation, con-
tinued the business retaining exclusive possession

partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors and
sole proprietors of this 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.
