duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago they being sole propretors of all the Identical
VINEYARDS, cellars, &C., which the founders and
originators of tins 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

CARD.-Upon the dissolution Of the old
firm, Heidsieck & Co.. in 1884, the senior partner,
who had the sole charge of its liquidation, con-
tnued the business retaining exclusive possession
of the vineyards, vaults, &C., which the origina
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors and
sole proprietors of this well-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.

SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care, during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prePara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as a perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective elect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks at
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries Of specimens ofwood and metal plates, which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water opposite this navy yard all
of which illustrates, in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority OF
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty TO give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which of too much impor-
tance to be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
