"John Oassellj still lives in the elevating stream of literature for i:vor flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left, a deeper mark on their ago than, John Ciwell. He arrived in London in 1838, witl' all his belongings tied up in <t coloured I handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which he addressed, in a rough and uncultured manner, but with an eiirncstness tNsfc proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, hovvavcr, that more was wanted than more preachirg, and with a sig.acity deserving of recognition, he pr-jeered two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Pmiohurch I street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McQowaN follows with his 3s tea. McG-owan has been in the tea trade for many years, and has a Home and Colonial experience in selection that few can lay claim t;>. A few years ago it occurred to. him, after seeing the sameness of the quality of tfa supplied on the Thames, that there was room for a better article than that usually sold. At the same time he saw th^t 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 from Russia, costing about 15s per lb there, being conveyed overland by caravan. Most people have a hobby, and 3* TEA is McGowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McQowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is I is intention, nt some future | date, to publish, for the information of i the trade, full instructions as to the i plant, time of polling, selection, manipulation, &c. The public are requested to judge tor themselves, in preference to listening to the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. TRY McGowan's 3s Tea. NOT THE LARGEST STOCK.'
