the company is acquiring among the commercial
classes of the country. But the great footage of the
moiety is this Industrial Branch. which offers to the
working classes an admirable medium for insurance, as
the terms are so arranged as to come within the
power of three of limited means. To what extent it
le appreciated by the class to whom it appeals may be
gathered from the fact that during the )ear £1,407,143
has been rewired in premiums, being an increase over
the previous year or 1.178,250, whil claims to the
amount of nearly £310,000 has been paid, being an

scrutiny, and the veredct that it is not merely solvent
but in the highest degree prosperous is an announce-

fidence of the working-classes, to the greatest
facilities are offered for insuring, awl perhaps one of
the chief is that the premiums are payable weekly,
whilst polieies for small amounts can be taken out.
