The defined and guaranteed DIVISION OF PROFITS of the
"Unity" is TWO-THIRDS tO the INSURER, and ONE-THIRD to
the SHAREHOLDER in addition to five per cent. interest on share
deposits.
THE PRINCIPLE AS TO RATES IN t 11,3 "UNITY."—Not to
underbid other offices, or to diminish the full margin of profits,
without which neither the assured nor the assurers would be safe ;
but to return the profits when realised, not to a few capitalists
exclusively holding the property of the Association, but to those
numerous and known parties from whom the profits have been
actually derived.
Damage by GAS. EXPLOSIONS is allowed as a loss under the
Company's Fire Policies, without extra premium.
FIVE PER CENT. DISCOUNT on the Government duty is
returned to every insurer at each payment of his insurance.
This is well worth the attention of large insurers, as making a
considerable reduction in their payments for insurances.
THE NEW BUSINESS OF THE " UNITY " FOR THE
YEAR 1854 is stated in Mr. Hyde Clarke's "Statistics of Fire
Insurance" to have been £1,516,000 MORE than that of the
"Sun," and £4,716,000 ABOVE that of any other London Office.
The total business effected from the commencement to 30th
August last amounts to 25,064 POLICIES, insuring nearly
EIGHTEEN MILLIONS STERLING.
Applications for Prospectuses and all information are requested
to be made at the District Offices, Commerce-court, 11, Lord-
street. JOHN SMITH, District Manager.

Important advantages to Assurers:—After there shall have
been made five annual payments on a whole Life Policy, the
Directors will at any time give the assurer a " paid-up" Policy
for the amount he may have paid, securing that sum to his
representatives at death ; thus the premiums paid for an assurance,
if discontinued, are not sacrificed.
No Entrance Money, Admission Fee, or Policy Stamp required.
Moderate rates of premium, offering peculiar advantages to young
lives. _

Policies are absolutely indisputable.
Loans upon Freehold and Leasehold Property, and upon Per-
sonal Security, in connection with Life Assurance.

1855,1110 POLICIES, assuring ,e30,„371,.have been proposed to

pletion; thus the business now being proposed to the institution,
