DEFERRED ANNUITIES.
Dy the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to
afford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta-
geous than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con-
tributi on of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving. may se-
cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or,
at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his
death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of
borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk
of fart( titure from inability to continue premiums, besides affording
an anti de resource during sickness and want of employment ; and
should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, twe-
thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives.
The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan-
tages,which the judicious application of a small saving can secure
hroni h this Society.

RHYMING CONCATENATIONS.
No. 1. ATTIRE.
Well may the poet strike his lyre
In praise of MOSES' choice attire.
MOSES' prime dress for son or sire,
Is everything that we require.
In MOSES' Clothes we may admire,
All that a person can desire.
In vain does rivalry aspire
To raise the summer garments higher,
In estimation with the buyer.
All competition must retire,
Nor ever dare to be a vier
With Messrs. MOSES, near the spire.
No 2.—HATS, &c.
The famous Hats and Caps displayed
At Messrs. MOSES' house of trade,
Are really elegantly m •de.
Many who near the sir p have strayed,
Admiring on the spot have stayed,
The hats of MOSES, when surveyed,
Cast every other in the shade.
Their shape is good, their nap well laid,
From top of crown to edging braid,
And when you view the prices paid,
You'll never feel the least afraid,
To lend E. M. and SON your aid.
No. 3.—BOOTS AND SHOES.
It is a fact which none deny—
A fact on which you may rely—
That MOSES' Boot and Shoe supply
Stands foremost in the public eye.
No matter how you test and try,
, You'll find these Boots and Shoes defy
Whatever you may judge them by.
A pair I lately bought, anti I,
Am very glad I went to buy,
For not a fault can I descry ;
They suit alike both wet and dry,
And raise the Mart of MOSES high.
No. 4. HOSIERY, SHAWLS, &c.
The Shawl and Hosiery Depot,
Whose numbers yon will find below,
By MOSES is conducted so,
That thousands are induced to go.
Their lib'ral favours to bestow.
From what I've prov'd myself I know
That, let you wander to and fro,
You'll never meet with such a show,
I therefore trust you'll not be slow
In buyinl goods for prices low
For much to MOSES do you owe
As instanced at their famed depot.
