ADVANTAGES EXCLUSIVELY BELONGING 'TO
THIS INSTITUTION.
Premiums for young and middle-aged lives lower than In any
Office in England • payable annually, half yearly, or quarterly, or
for a limited number of years only.
A temporary precautionary Capital of Two Hundred Thousand
Pounds, which will be paid off as soon as an adequate aurplus ca-
pital shall have been accumulated from the premiums for short
terns ; thus the subscribed apical nerves as a security to the as-
oared, without permanepity draining the profits.
Three-fourths of the profits divided amongst the towed until
the shareholders are paid off, and thenceforth the entire profits, bx.
additions to their policies, with interest thereon, in reduction of
the premiums.

• •
The trustees sign every policy, and give the assured an imme-
diate remedy against the fund itself.
On the back of every policy for the whole term of life is a
scale of its true value from year to year, at which price the So-
elety contract to purchase it, or to lend two-thirds thereof to the
holder, to enable him to continue the future premiums without
Inconvenience.
The assured having the contract of the trustees to purchase
policies, may reduce the annual premiums at pleasure. For in-
stance, by taking ten policies of lOW. each, instead of one of 1,0001.
whenever a bonus of 1101. is added to the gross amount, the as-
sured, by selling one policy to the Society will receive its true A-
we, and reduce his premium one-tenth, without diminishing the
I,OOW. Thus, he may either apply the bonus in augmentation of
the sum insured, or in reduction of his future premiums.
There are no agents to the institution, and consequently the com-
missions which would be allowed to them are properly deducted
from the premiums of the assurcd.
The following extracts will serve to show how much lower the
rates of the Economic are than those of any other office. The
table at all ages would occupy too much apace :

This Company is founded upon the principle of dividing the
whole of Its Profits amongst the Proprietors and such Persons as
have effected Insurances. To the Proprietors a fair rate of Interest
will be paid on their advanced Capital, with a Bonus of One-third
of the Profits ; and to the Insured (whether Proprietors or not) a
Bonus of the remaining Two-thirds, in proportion to the Premiums
paid by each on Policies of not less than one year's duration. The
Interest will be paid annually, and the Bonuses will be divided
every seven years. The subscribed Capital of Five Millions is
divided into 250,000 Shares of 201. each, upon which two pounds
per Share, amounting to 500,0001., have been paid and invested ;
and as each Proprietor is bound to effect and 'keep u.p Insurances
equal to the amount of his Shares, or to pay a tine of one shilling
per Share annually, the Company secures a certain and accumu-
lating business, the Profits of which will be divided amongst all
who are connected with it, whether as Proprietors or Insurers;
thus the Proprietor has a profitable investment of his capital, and
the Insured participates largely in the profits of a Company, whose
business is commanded by the number and obligations of its Pro.
prietora.
An Insurance in advance for Six Years, entitles the Insurer to
the benefit of Seven Years' Insurance. _ _ _

Losses will be settled and paid promptly ; and claims submitted
to Arbitration, if required.

Losses by Lightning will be made good.
No charge will be made for Policies of 3001. and upwards.
The Company have made the following REDUCTION in the
RATES of PRE3IIIT3I hitherto charged on the three common
classes of Insurance. The Reduction applies equally to Insist.
ances in London and throughout the Country, except in special
CUM
st Class in reduced from 2s. to Is. fid. per Cent.
2nd 3s. to 2s. Gd.
3rd Ls. to 45. Gd.
The Directors call the attention of the Proprietors to the oblige.
don which they are under, of effecting on or before the arh day of
January next, by themselves or substitutes, an Insurance to the
extent of Twenty Pounds per Share; as all Shares then un.
covered by Insurance will be liable to a tine of One Shilling pe.
Share.
