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 cxcellencc. gsiis
We beg particularly to notice that their brand
still bears the same name Of Heidseck 6S Co, in
full, by which il first became 30 fhvorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH

tinued the business retaining exclusive possession

sole proprietors Of this well-known brand.
In order to distinguish the same from limitations
