Business Notices " John Cassem. still lives in the elevating strewn of literature for ever flowing from tbe great publishing house he founded. Pew men have 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 hardkeiehief. At the various temperance meetings which he addressed, in a rough and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness thot proved his.attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, that more waß wanted than mere preachit g, and with a sagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— 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 McGowan follows wiih his 3s tea. McGoWAN 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 tea supplied on the Thames, Hi at 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 hedetermined 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. Moßt people hßve a bobby, and 3s TEA is McGowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is bis intention, r.t some futuro date, to publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of polling, selection, manipulation, &cv The public are requested to judge, for themselves, in preference to listenii g to th« disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. TRY McGowan's 3s Tea.
