FIRE AND LIFE INSURANCE,
So many concerns of this nature have latety started up ; the
Professions and promises of all are so inviting, but their failures are
su frequent and disastrous, that it behoves all prudent persons to
Pause
before they commit their safety to untried adventures, while
ffices of approved solidity and conduct are open to insure them.
Such of these projects as escape the payment of heavy losses for
some years may continue so long afloat, but such as, at an early
tage, feel the effects of raising business by taking bad risks at a-
tcluate rates are soon exhausted. Upwards of thirty new Insurance
Projects have sprung up, and broken down within as many years.
In contrast with these, the undersigned Agents respectfully re-
commend to public attention, those long-established Offices, the
COUNTY FIRE OFFICE, and the PROVIDENT LIFE
OFFICE of London. Their Capitals in hand exceed a Million
Sterling. In the County Fire Office, 170,000 persons have sought
protection and have found it. Claims have been paid to 3,000 suf-
erers. Returns of 10, 20, and 25 per cent., amounting to 100,000/.
have been invariably paid to all who have continued insured seven
years, an advantage which no other Fire Office existing has afforded.
In the Life Office, the success has been equally remarkable. The
tionuses on Life Policies during the last thirty years have successively
increased to 40 per cent. Many other important advantagesare de-
tailed in the proposal of these Offices, which .may be had gratis of us.
