" John Cassem. still lires in the elevating stream of literature for ever flowing from tbe great publishing house he founded. Few men have left; a deeper mark on their age than John Oaseell. . He arrived in London in 1838, with all hia belongiugs tied up in a coloured handkerchief. At the various temperance meetings which ho addressed, in a rough and uncultured munner, but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, : that more was wanted than mere preachiig, and with a suguoity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong' counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up *in . Fenchurcli street an establishment for the sale of tea and' coffee. A long way after him McGowan follows with his/ 3s tea. . McGowah 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 tbe quality of tea supplied oa tbe 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. oxcelled, unless thero were those wealthy 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 Hobbx, 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 publißb, for the information of , the trade, full instructions as to the . plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &o. The public are requested to judge tor themselves, in preference to listening to th* disparaging remarks'of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. McGowan s!3s.sTea.
