!' John Casbeil still livos in the elevating stream of literatim? for ever flowing from the great publishing hoiiso/he founded. Pew men have left a deeper mark on their ago than John Oase.eil. 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 rough arid uncultured manner, but with .an earnestness that proved his attachment to temperance views. He saw, however, that more was wanted than mere preachit g, and with a sagacity deserving of recognition, he projected two strong counteractive forces to intemperance— wholesome beverages and educational literature. Be set up in Fenehurch 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 yeara ago it occurred to him, after seeing the sutneneas of the quality ef tea supplied on the Thames, ,that there wan 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 McGowan's Hobby, get a pound and try it. McGowait'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, &c. The public are requested to judge for themselves, in preference to listening to tho disparaging remarks of interested and unprincipled tradesmen. , TRY McGowan's 3s Tea.
