who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public TO the subJoined
card.
The Messrs. Hedsleck & Co., as set forth there
in, Justly claim TO be alone enabled to send TO this
country the genuine Heidsieck " Co. Champagne,
under the same and style as originally intro
duced into this market, now nearly thirty years
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 Heldsieck az Co., In
full by which il first became so favorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.

the name of our firm in full will be found on the

S1R: A series Of experiments conducted by me,
upon all the various paints and artificial prepara-

10 the important discovery thai. the White Zinc
Paint, manufactured by the New Jersey Zinc Com
pany, serves as perfect protection against the
rayages of the marine worm, and the formation OF
barnacles whilst no 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 complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anL 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 oi
your White Zinc Paint over all other kinds
paints, especially for marine purposes.
You are al liberty to give full publicity TO the
above stated facts, which are OF too much lrnpor-
lance TO be kept from the naval and commercial
world am, respectfully, your obedient servant,
