Business Notices " John Oasseii still lives in the elevating 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 saw, however, that more was wanted than me^e 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 FencKurch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McGowak follows with his 3s tea. McGowan has been in the tea trade for many years, and has a Homo 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 same time ho saw that it would be suicidal to introduce a high prico, so he determined to put before the judgeß of good tea an article for 3s, that could not be excelled, unless there were those weaithy 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 and distinct from all other Teas. It is his intention, at some future I date, to publish, for tbe 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 I listening to the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. TRY McGowan's 3s Tea.
