Business Notices " John Cassem still lives in the elevating stream of literature for ever flowing from the great publishing house ho founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their age than John Cssfell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all his belongings tied up in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance ireetings which he addressed, in a rough and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness tliofc proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, that more was wanted than nwe preachvg, and with a s;ig«city 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 with his 3s tea. _ McGowAN has been in the tea trade for many years, and lias a Home and Colonial experience in seleqti(|rt 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, tbab 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 he determined to put before the judges of good tea an article for 3s, that could not bo excelled, unless there were those wealthy enough' to receive it from Russia, costing about 15s per lb thero, beiDg conveyed overland by caravan. Most people have a hobbyj and 3a TEA is McGowan's Hobby, get a pound and fry it. McGowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is Hs intention, st 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.
