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
to 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 impor-
tant subject to the Bureaus of Yards and Docks, al
Washington, and shall send with il a complete Sc
ries of specimens of wood anG 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 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,

who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subjoined
card.
The Mess,s. Heidsieck & Co., as set forth there
in justly claim to be alone enabled to send to this
country the genuine Heidsieck d 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
orgnators ofihls 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 so fayorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other simi-
lar marks which have since aPpearad.

In order TO distinguish the same from limitations
