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 Heldsieck & Co., IN
