THE DIRECTORS OF THE STANDARD LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY REQUEST ATTENTION TO THE ADVANTAGE
OF JOINING TILE COMPANY BEFORE THE CLOSE OF
THE BOOKS FOR THE PRESENT YEAR ox 15TH NOVEMBER,
WITH REFERENCE TO THE DIVIiION OF PROFIfS IN
1855.

THE FUND to be Divided in 1855 will be
derived from the Profits which have arisen since 1850, and
those persons who effect Assurances at this time wisl secure TWO
YEAR,4' Participation in that Fund, while they will rank at the
division in 1860 for seven years' bonus; in .1865, for twelve years'
bonus ; and soon, increasing their claim at EACH PERIOD.
The principle on which the Profits of the Company are divided is
similar to a TONTINE, and the Directors have been enabled to con-
fer very large benefits on the Policyholders at the former Divisions
of Profits in 1835, 1840, 1845, and 1850 ; some of the earliest Assur-
ances having been increased at the rate of 871. 6s. for each 1001.
assured, thus making an original 1,0001. policy equal to 1,8731.
The Directors confidently asrert that no Life Assurance Institution
holds out greater advantages than the STANDARD to persons who,
looking forward to lung life, effect Assurances for the benefit of their
t amities.
The Company's large Accumulated Funds are invested on the
security of land and in Government securities. The Income is con-
siderably upwards of Two Hundred Thousand Pounds per annum ;
and for some years the average number of persons who have joined
the Institution has been 825, and the corresponding annual amount
of New AssurancEs, 460,0001.
