COUNTY FIRE OFFICE and PROVIDENT
1. LIFE OFFICE REGENT-STREET, were the Original
Odices which effected Insurances upon the principle of combining
the security of an adequate permanent Capital tin addition to the
fluctuating Funds arising from the Premiutna) with the beneficial
rule of returning, at stated periods, the Surplus of the annual Pre-
miums to the Contributors, after paying losses and expenses. The
iintairtance of this improvement us acknowledged by extraordinary
public approbation, and by the numerous imitations of it, which
new Others have la;ely offered, and which older ones have adopted
in changing their Constitutions. The principle is of chiet value,
because as it yields, by the specific Sums insured, and the Return
of the Surplus, the fullest value for the Deponita, persons have no
reasonable motive for venturing on the lure of reduced and insuf-
ficient premiums proposed to them by Adventercre, and which has
led to frequent instances of disappointment and ruin.

CAPITALS, A MILLION STERLING
and upwards.
Seventy-eight Thousand Persons have sought Protection in the
County Office, and have found it.

Claims have been paid to Sixteen Hundred Claimants.
Exempt from the Expenses of Lawsuits, and also from the seed-
flee of an enormous Commission to Agents, to which sonic new
Of submit, to induce them to canvas fot Business, great accu-
mulations have been made. In these, Persons who now insure
participate equally with the original Members.
Returns of Twenty-five and Twenty per Cent. in consequence
have been invariably paid wall Persons who have continued Insured
Seven Years, upon Annual as well u upon Septennial Policies, and
whether they have been Claimants for bosses or otherwise. Forty-
two Thousand Pounds have been returned in this way to about
Twenty-five Thousand Persons insured, within the last Ten Years
—an important advantage which no other Insurance Office existing
has afforded.

Bonuses of 13L Cs. and 2.11 L 12s. per Cent. have been paid on Life
Policies.

Agents are appointed in all the principal Towns.
