NEW ZEALAND PRUDENTIAL LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY. [Registered under the Friendly Societies' Act, 1877,] The abbre Society ha« been established to meet the want of the WORKING CLASSES, and it is the only IndpstbiAt Societi in the Colonies. Then let ub provide for ourselves, Death is certain; let us be prudent, be independent. Nay, be honest and just to ourselves, and to the public. J. F. COCKS, Agent, 421 FoiitiEK Stbeet, Cbntrai. "\Sonv CaSSBIiXi still lives in the elevating stream of literature for ever flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men hare left a deeper mark on their age than John Cassell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all his belongings tied up in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which he addressed, in a rough and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views.. He saw, however, that more was wanted than mere preachirg, and with a sagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperanoe— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Fenchurch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McGowak follows with his 3s tea. McGowak has been in the tea trade for many years, and has a Home and 1 Colonial experience in selection that few can lay claim to. A few years ago it occurred to him, after seeing the sameness of the quality of t*a supplied on the Thames, that there was room for a better article than that usually sold. At : the same time ha saw that it would be ■ suicidal to introduce a high price, so he determined to put before the judges of good tea an article for 3s, that could not be excelled, unless there were those wealthy enough to receive it front Russia, costing about 15s per lb there, being conveyed overland by caravan. Most people bare a hobby, and 3s TEA it McGowah's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowan'3 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is his intention, at some future date, to publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &o. The public are requested to judge for themselves, in preference to listening to the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. \ ■' ■ TRY - .. •; .. McQ-owan's 3s Tea.
