The 'POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
de Company being prohibited, by the g4th clause a their Deed of
!.onstitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
uting a Policy upon any, ground whatever. •
The Rates of Premium are calculated 'upon Carlisle mortality, and
re as low as a due regard to complete Security will justify.
HALF PRE %HUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only ode-half of the
remlums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p iid
lr.the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
onvenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form
deduction from the claim on the. Policy ; and 'as the As-
antic° may be relinquished at any time without payment
f the retained premiums; this scheme enables a party to
tsure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
id to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
W.IIOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
cured life should go beyond the prescribed`limits.
Sunui are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
,ecified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTISTER AHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
tected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
iSted. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
g 'the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
teir share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
tedtamding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
lilator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
Ode for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death- o
'to assured life •
