The Indisputable Life Policy Company, established in 1848,
introduced a valuable improvement into the practice of life assts.
ranee, by snaking life policies certain and absolute documents
of complete security.
. . . .

Instead of issuing merely doubtful instruments like ordinary
policies, depending for their validity upon numerous Questions
which ere kept open until the claims aiise, then to be discussed,
this Company take upon themselves the duty of making all ne•
cessary inquiries as to the life proposed before granting the
policy, which, when issued, becomes an indisputable document
of debt.

To remove all doubt on this important subject, a clause to
that effect was inserted in the Deed of Incorporation of the
Company, and registered in terms of the Act 7 and 8 Vic. c. 110,
whereby indisputability is made binding ou the Company, and
is guaranteed to the insured. A reduction of twentrtive per cent.
has been made on the premiums of all policies of live years'
standing. ALEX. ROBERTSON, Manager.
