uETDsIECK & co. CHAM-

NJ pagne.--The subscribers having been APP
upoited by Messrs Heldsieck & Co. TO succeed
Mr.. Charles Engler, heretofore sole agent in the
in the United States for the sale OF their Wines,
who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public TO the subjoined
card.
The Messrs. HeidsIeck 81 Co., as set forth there
in Justly claim TO be alone enabled 10 send to this
country the genuine Heidsieck & Co. Champagne,
under the same name 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 Heidsieek & Co., in
full, by which it first became so favorab'y known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other simi-
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 we-known brand.
In order to distinguish the same from limitations
and marks similar TO our own which have ap-
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.
