FOE EVERY DESCRIPTION OF LIFE ASSURANCE. IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE TO ASSURERS. NON•FORFEITURE OF POLICY.—A most desirable pro vision is male for assurers in this Association, who, from auy cause, are unable ur not desirous of continuing the payment of premium on an assurance. After five annual payments on a whole term of life policy, the Direztors will at any nine give the assurer a paid•up policy for the amount he may have paid, securing that sum to his representatives at death. Thus, sup posing a person aged thirty to have assured, for 1,0011., with profits, fur the whole term of life, and paid live years' premiums, he would under such circumstances have paid the sum of 1131. 2s. dd. Should he desire then to drop the assurance, or it he bo compelled to do so, he may receive a paid-up pul:cy for that amount. This would be an absolute and indisputable reversion, payable to his representatives atter his death. INVESTMEN f OF THE FUNDS OF THE ASSOCIATION. The funds of the Institution are kept in a state of constant activity, conferring advantages on assurers, and producing life anent tutees to the Association. The Board of Directors make advances In connection with life assurance:— Upon freehold or leasehold property in England, upon rever sions, annuities, sign-inanual, pensions, or any other tiescription of assignable property or income.
