Business Notices " John Casseli. still lires in the elevating stream of literature for erer flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their age thin John Oaesell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all his belongings -tied up in » 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 mere preach* ii 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 ond coffee. A long way after him McGowan follows with 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 same* nees of the quality of tea supplied on the Thames, that there wan room for a better article-than that usually sold. At the same 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 weatthy enough to receive it from Russia,' costing about 15s per lb there, being conveyed overland by caravan. Most people have a hobby, and 8« TEA is MoQowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. MoGowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas.
