The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
the Company being prohibited, by the 64th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered la terms of the Act, from dis
)iuting a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are,qa low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
preminms, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be psid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue,. to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and uf the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
Of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
Of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNERSHIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
tested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
luff•the whale capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equ‘tor.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
Made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.
