who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention Of the public to the subjoined
card
The Messrs. Heidsieck & Co., as set forth there
in Justly claim TO be alone enabled to send to this
country the genuine Heidseck IL 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
orignators 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 so favorably known
being thereby easily distinguished from other SINH
lar marks which have since appeared.

CARD.-Upon the dissolution of the old
firm, Heidsieck 81 Co., in 1884, the senior partner,
who had the sole charge of its liquidation, con-
tinued the business, retaining exclusive possession
of the vineyards, vaults, &c, which the origina
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors and
sole proprietors of this well-known brand
In order 10 distinguish the same from limitations
and marks similar to our own, which have APP
peared and may hereafter appear in this market,
the name OF our firm in full will be found on the
labels and around the corks.

TO c.. L. Detmold President ". j. Zinc Co., " T.
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
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 10 the Bureaus Of Yards and Docks, at
Washington and shall send with it complete
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 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 TO be kept from the naval and commercial
