" John CassbUi 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 Oassell. He armed in London in 1838, with* all hia belongings tied up in a ooloured handkerchief. At the Vjߣ^W temperance meetings which he addfst^B, in a roagh and uncultured manner, "but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, that more was wanted than mere preaching, and with a sagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong .counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome haverages and educational literature. He set; up in Fenehurch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. ' A long way after him McGowan follows' with; his 3s tea. MoQ-owak has been in the tea trade for many years, • and has a Home and 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 tfa supplied on the Thames, that there was room for a better article than that usually sold. At the same time ho Baw 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 wea>thy enough to "receive it from Russia, costing about 15s iper lb there, being conveyed overland by caravaa. Most people have a,hobby, and 3s TEA is McGowah's Hobbt, get a pound and try it. "McSowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is his intention, Bt some future date, to publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &c. The public are requested to judge for themselves, in preference to listening to the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. - TRY McGowan's 3s Tea.
