To c. e. Dctmold, President ~ J. Zinc Co., " Y.
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
10 the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, ,manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany serves as perfect protection against the
ravages of the marine worm, and the formation of
barnaces, whilst no other paint or preparation of
any kind combines the same protective effect.
| am now preparing full report on this mpor-
tant subject TO the Bureaus of Yards and Docks al
Washington, and shall send with il complete Sc
res Of specimens of wood ant metal plates which
were covered with the different paints and pre-
parations, and then exposed alike for an entire
season, in salt water, opposite this navy yard all
Of which illustrates, in the most striking manner,
the invaluable qualities and decided superiority Of
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds OF
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty 10 give full publicity TO the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance 10 be kept from the naval and commercial
world am, respectfully, your obedient servant,

ago. they being sole propretors 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 it first became avorably known.
being thereby easily distinguished from other simi-
