This Institution is so constituted as to afford the benefits of Life
Assurance in their fullest extent to Policy holders, and to present
greater faciliti es and accommodation than can be obtained in any
similar establishment. Among others, the following improvements
en the system usually adopted, are recommended to the attention
of the Public.
An ample subscribed capital, invested in such a manner as always
to be immediately available when the claims by deaths arise.
A most economical Set of Tables—computed expressly for the
Ilse of this Institution, from authentic and complete data,—and
..(with two exceptions only) presenting lower rates of premium
than any hitherto offered.
A Table of increasing rates of Premium on a new and remarka-
ble plan, peculiarly advantageous in cases where Assurances are
'affected, by way of securing loans or debts, a loss immediate pay-
utent being required on a policy for the whole term of life than in
ally other office ; and the holder having the option of paying a pe-
riodically increasing Tate, er of having the sum assured diminished
according to an equitable scale of reduction.
A Board of Directors in attendance daily at the office. Assur-
ances completed and policies delivered within a few hours. Re-
ferences to medical attendants not required when the state of
health is unexceptionable; but whenever references are required,
the medical attendant of the party consulted on behalf, and at the
laxp_ence of the Company.
Females and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to appear
11 the office, visited at their own houses by one of the medical
officers.
Policies effected by persons on their own lives not rendered void
in case of death by duelling or the hands of justice. In the event
'of suicide, if the policy be assigned to a bona fide creditor, the sum
assured paid without deduction—if not so assigned, the full amount
'of premiums returned to the family of the assured.
Policies revived without the exaction oh a fine within twelve
lacmths, on the production of satisfactory evidence as to health, and
pay-sent of interest on the premiums due.
A,e,e of the Assured in every case admitted in the Policy.
Ali claims payable within one month after proof of death.
A. liberal commission allowed to solicitors and agents.
Xxteact from Increasing Rates of Prsininm for an Assurance of
1001. for Whole Term of Life.
