who this day retires from business, respectfully
call the attention of the public to the subJolned
card
The Messrs. Heidsleck q CO., as set forth there
in Justly claim to be alone enabled TO send TO this
country the genuine Hedsieck d 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
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 Htidseck % Co., IN
full, by which it first became so avorably known,
being thereby easily distinguished from other simi-
lar marks which have since appearad.

tinued the business retaining exclusive possession
Of the vineyards vaults, &C., which the origina
partnership had enjoyed.
Our new firm are his immediate successors ana
sole proprietors of this well-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
