IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE TO ASSURERS. :CON-FORFEITURE OF POLICY.—A most desirable pro vision is made for assurers in this Association, who, from any cause, are unable or 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 time give the assurer • 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 Dave assured, fur 1,0001., with profits, for the whole term of life, and paid five years' premiums, he would under such citcumstances have paid the sum of 1131. 2s. CA. Should he desire then to drop the assurance, or if he be compelled to do so, he may receive a paid-up policy for that amount. This would be an absolute and indisputable reversion, payable to his representatives after his death. OF THE FUNDS OF THE ASSOCIATION. The funds of the Institution ere kept in a state ct constant activity, conferring advantages on assurers, and producing life assurances 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 -manual, pensions, or ally other description of assignable property or income.
