"Johk Oabsull still lives in the ele* rating stream of literature for ever flow* ing from the great publishing house he founded. Few' men hare left a deeper : mark ion their-age than John. Gas«ell. 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, howaver, 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 Fenchuroh street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him . McQowak follows with his 3s tea. MoQowak has been in the tea tirade for many • years, and has a Home and Colonial. experience in selection that few can lay claim to. A few year* ago it occurred to him, after seeing the same* . ness of the quality of tea supplied on' the Thames, that there wait room for a better article than that usually sold. At the same time ha saw. that it would be suicidal to introduce a high price, so he determined to put before tbojuitgesof good toa an article for 3s, that could not be excelled, unless there .were .those . wealthy enough to receive it from Russia, coating about 15s per lb there, being conveyed overland by > caravan. Most people have a hobby, and 3f -ISA is McGowan's Hobbt, get a pound and try it. McQowak's 3s Tea is different and distinct from' all other Teas. > It is vis intention, - at tome 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 tor themselves,', in preference to listening to tho disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. TRY McGowans 3s T«o
