"John Cassell still lives in the clevatiDg stream of literature for ever flow- . ing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have left a deeper mark on their ago than John Cassell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all his helongings 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 preachirg, and with a sagacity deserving 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 McGk>WAN follows with his 3s tea. McGtowAH 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 htm, after seeing the sameness of the quality of tea supplied on ' the Thames, that there was room for a better article than that usually sold. 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 have a hobby, and 3s TEA. is McQowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McOowan's 3a Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is tiis intention, nt some futuro date, to publish, for the information of the trade, lull instructions as to the plant, time of polling, selection, manipulation, &o. The public are requested to ' judge lor themselves, in preference to listening to thj disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. TRY, McGowans 3s Tea.
