Business Notices " John Cassell still lives in the ele* vatiDg stream of literature for ever flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their ago than John Oaseell." 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 caw, however, that more was wanted than mere preach* irq, and with a sagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He Bet up in Fenchurch street an establishment for tbe sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McGowan follows with his 3s tea. McGowah 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 same* ness of the quality of tea supplied on the Thames, that there wan room for a better article than that usually sold. At the Bame time he 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 from " Russia, costing about 15s per lb there, being conveyed overland by caravan." Most people have a hobby, and 3s TEA is McGowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowan's 3s Tea is different mid distinct from all other Teas. It is bis intention, fit 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 tho disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen.
