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 OF
the same among the American public being already
identified with unsurpassed excellence.
We beg particularly 10 notice that their brand
still bears the same name of Heidsieck & Co.. in

being thereby easily distinguished from other smi
