" John CASSEiit still lives in the elevating stream of literature for eTer flowing from tbe great publishing house ho founded. Few men have left a deeper. mark on their age than John Caseell. He arrived in London in 1838, with all his belongings tied up in a coloured liandVerchief. 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 preachir g, and with a sagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperancewholesome beverages and educational literature. He set up in Fenchurch street an establishment for the sale of tea and coffee. A long way after him McGowan follows with his 3s tea. McGowan 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 yearß ago it occurred to him, after seeing tbe sameness of tbe quality of tea supplied on the 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 conld 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. Moßt people have a hobby, and 3s TBA is McGowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McQowan's 3s Tea is different and distinct from all other Teas. It is his intention, et some future date, to publish, for the information of the trade, full instructions as 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. TRY McGowan's 3s Tea. pASH p RICE T IS T .
