who this day retres from business, respectfully
call the attention Of the public to the subjoined

The Messrs Heidsleck & Co., as set forth there
in, justly claim to be alone enabled to send to this
country the genuine Heidsieck u Co. Champagne
under the same name and style as originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
ago, they being sole proprieors 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 oi
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 d Co., IN

being thereby easily distinguished from other simi-

To C. E. Detmold President NJ. Zinc Co., ~ \.
SIR: A series of experiments conducted by me,
with the utmost care during the past three years,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepare
tions for the preservation of timber, have led me
to the important discovery that the White Zinc
Paint, manufacturedby the New Jersey Zinc Com.
pany, serves perfect protection against the
ravages ofthe marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles, whilst other paint or preparation OF
any kind combines the same protective effect.
am now preparing full report on this impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, at
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood and 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
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are at liberty TO give full publicity to the
above stated facts, which are of too much impor-
tance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
world. am, respectfully your obedent servant,
