Notices "John Cabsell still lives in the elevating stream of literature for ever flowing from.the grent publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their age than John Cas»ell. He arrived in London in 1836, with all his belongings tied up in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance iheetings which he addresred, in a roagh ; and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, that moro whs wanted than mere preachi- g, and with a s:tgticity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. lie set up in Fehchdrch street an establishment for the sale of . tea and' coffee. A long way after him - McGowan follows with his 3s tea. McGowan has been in the tea" trade for ninny 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 tea supplied on the Thames, that there wan room for a better article than that usually sold. At . the same time h* 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 weatthy 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'b 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is 1 is intention, Ht some future date, to publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant., time of p Uing, selection, manipulation, &c.. The public are requested to judge tor themselves, in preference to listening to'th" disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen.. TRY McGowan's 3s Tea. NOT THE LARGEST STOCK.
