NJ pagne.-The subscribers having been ap-
pointed by Messrs. Heldsieck & Co. to succeed
Mr.. Charles Engler, heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale of their Wines,
who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention Of the public to the subjoined
card.
The Messrs. Heidsieck a. Co., as set forth there
in justly claim TO be alone enabled to send to this
country the genuine Heidseck 81 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
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 Heidsieck IL Co., in
full by which it first became so favorably known.
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH

CARD.-Up0n the dissolution of the old
firm, Heidsieck & Co., in 1884, the senior partner,
who had the sole charge of its liquidation, con-
tinued the business, retaining exclusive possession
of the vineyards, vaults &c., which the origna
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors and
sole propretors 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.
