While this Society enables a person to provide for his family

himself during life, by granting annuities, either immediate,
deferred, or survivorship.
Every member assured for the whole term of life, whose
policy shall have existed three years, will be entitled to a pro-
portionate share of the quinquennial profits, which may be ap-
plied either by additions to their respective policies, or in re-
duction of the premiums thereafter to become payable.
Assurers may pay their premiums in any way most suitable
to their circumstances, either quarterly, half-yearly, or an-
uallv, and one-half the premium may remain unpaid on interest
for five years, if required.
N.B.—A Committee of Directors, attended by a medical
officer, sit at the Company's house every Tuesday, from
Twelve to Two o'clock, to grant Assurances, but one bireetor
is daily in attendance to render every facility to those to whom
despatch may be an object.
