*'Johh Oabsblili still Htm in the ele* • rating stream of literature for ever flowing from the great publiihing 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 addressed, in a roagh , and uncultured manner, but with an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views.. He saw, however, that more was wanted than mere preach* it-g, and with a sagacity deserving recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Fenchurch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him JtfcGowAN follows with his 3s tea. McGowAir 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 year* ago it occurred to him, after seeing the same* ness of the quality of tea' supplied on the Thames, that thwre waft room for a ; better article than that usually sold. At the same time h» saw that it would be suicidal to introduce a high price, so his 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 Bussia, costing about 15s per lb there, being conveyed overland by caravan. Most people have a hobby, and 3a TEA is Mc&owam's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowav's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is bis intention, at some future date, to fjaablish, for the information of the trade, full instructions at to the plant, time of pulling, selection, manipulation, &c. The public are requested to judge for themselves, in preference, to , listening to the disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. , Str McGowans 3s Tea.
