VI pagne.-The subscribers having been ap-

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 a. Co, as set forth there
in, justly claim 10 be alone enabled 10 send TO this
country the genuine Heidseck & 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
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 Heidsieck ~ Co, in
full by which il 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-
tnued 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 ofthis well-known brand.
In order TO 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.
