r pO THE CITIZENS OF GEORGIA
The termination of a sanguinary contest, which foi
the past four years has presented an impassable barrier
to all social or commercial mteicouree between the
two great sections of our country, having at length
happily cleared away all obstacles to a removal of
those relations which formerly bound us together in a
fraternal union, I take the earliest opportunity afford
ed me by this auspicious event, to greet my Sonthern
friends, and to solicit from them a renewal of that ex.
tensive business connection which for a quarter of a
century has been uninterrupted save by the great pub
lic calamity to which I have adverted.
It is scarcely necessary, on the threshold of a busi
ness re-union, I should repeat the warning so often
given to my lriends,—to beware of all those spurious
and deleterious compounds which, under the specious
and false titles of Imported Wines, Bra ndies, Holland
Gin, Liquors, Ac., have been equally destructive to
the health of our citizens and prejudicial to the interest
of the legitimate Importer.
Many years of my past life have been expended in
an open and candid attempt tu expose these wholesale
frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to ac
complish this salutary purpose, and to place before
my friends and the public generally; at the lowest
possible market price, aud in such quantities as migbt
suit their convenience, a truly genuine imported arti
cle. ,
Twenty-five years’ business transactions with the
largest and most respectable exporting houses in
France and Great Britain have afforded me unsurpass
ed facilities for supplying our home market with
Wines, Liquors, and Liquereof the best and most ap
proved brands in Europe, in addition to my own dis
tillery in Holland for the manufacture of the “Schie
dam Schnapps.’
The latter, so long tested and approved by the med
ical Faculties of the United States, West Indies and
South America as an invaluable Therapeutic, a whole
some, pleasant, and perfectly safe beverage in all cli
mates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cu
pidity of the home manufacturers and venders of a
spurious article uuder the same name.
I trust that I have, alter much toil and expense, Bur
rounded all my importations with safeguards and di
rections which with ordinary circumspection will in
sure their delivery, as I receive them from Europe, to
ail my customers.
I would, however, recommend in all cases where it
is possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22
Beaver street, New York, or that purchases be made
of my accredited agents.
In addition to a large stock of Wines, Brandies, Ac.,
in wood, 1 have a considerable supply of old tried for
eign v ines, embracing vintages of many past years,
bottled up before the commencement of the war,
which I can especially recommend to all connoisseurs
of these rare luxuries.
In conclusion, I would specially call the early atten
tion of my Southern enstomers to the advantage to be
derived by transmitting their orders without loss of
time, or calling personally at the Depot, in order to
insure the fulfillment of their favors from tbe present
large and well selected assortment. |
