" Johk OabsbliL still lives in the ele* | rating stream of literature for erer flowing from the great publishing house he founded. Few men have -lef6 a deeper mark on their ago than John Oassell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all t his belongings tied up in a 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 preach* - ii-g, and with a ngaeity deserving recognition, he projected two strong ■-. counteractive forces to intempejraHce— 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 MoGowak follows wiih his 3s tea. McG-owah has been in the tea; trade for' many years, and has a Home and Colonial experience iv selection that few can lay claim to. A few years ago it occurred to him, after seeing tho same* ness of the quality of t.a supplied on the Thames, that there wan room for a better article than that usually sold. At the same time b.9 saw that it would be suicidal to introduce a high price, bo he determined to put before the judges of good tea an article for 3s, that could not .be excelled, ifhless there were those . wealthy enough to receive it from Russia, costing about 15s per lb. there, being conveyed overland by caravaß. Moat people bave a hobby, and 3i TEA is McQtOWan's Hobbi, get a'pound and try it. McQowan'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 pulling, selection, manipulation, &o. The public are requested to - judge (or themselves; in preference to listening to tlu disparaging remarks of - interested and unprincipled tradesmen. v McGowans 3s Tea.
