"John Oasskli still lives in the elevating stream of literature for ever flow* ing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their age than John Cassell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all his belongings tied up in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which ha 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 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 $tcGowAN 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 sameness of the quality of tea supplied on the Thames, that there wan room for a better article than that usually Bold. At the same 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 bave a hobby, and 3s TEA is McGowah'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 date, to publish,' for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &o. The public are requested to judge for themselves, in preferencetto listening to the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen.

TRY McGowan's 3s Tea.
