" John Oasseii still lives in the elevating stream of literature for eter flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their age than John Oasiell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all his belongings tied up in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which he addresied, in a rough and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, that more waß wanted than mere preachit g, and with a ssgacity deserving of recognition,?- he projected two Btrong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Fencburch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him MoGowan follows with hie 3s tea. McG-OWAW has been in the tea trade for many years, nnd 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 ef tea supplied on the Thames, that there wa« room for a better article than that usually sold. At the same time bo 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 McGowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowan'S 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is bis intention, at some future date, to publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as to the plant, time of polling, 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.
