Business Notices "John Casseeu still lives in the elevating stream of literature for ever flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have lefb a deeper mark on their ago than John Cassell. He nrrived in London in 1838, with all his belongings tied np in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which he addressed, in a rough and uncultured mnnner, but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, that more was wanted than mere preachirg, 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 McGrOWAH follows with his 3a tea. McGowan has been in the tea trade for many years, ond 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 was room for a better article than that usually sold. At the Bame time ho 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 Rusßia, 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. McQowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. " It is his intention, at some future date, to publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &o. The public arc requested to judge for themselves, in preference to listening to the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. - TRY McGowan's 3s Tea.
