call the attention of the public to the subjoined
card Et 3i Ae
The Messrs. Heidsleck & Co., as set forth there
in, Justly claim to be alone enabled to send TO this
country the egenuine Heidseck & 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 & Co., IN
full, by which il first became favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other simi-
lar marks which have since appeared.

In order to distinguish the same from limitations
