To be empowered by Act of Parliament.
A proportion of the Profits of the Society will be set apart as a
Fund for the Relief of Necessitous Members and their Widows,
and augmenting the Annuities to Aged Travellers and others,
Members of the Society, in cases of necessity.
To no class of persons are the advantages of Life Assurance so
applicable, and yet by none so little maturely considered and ap-
preciated, as by Commercial Travellers. It is, indeed, a matter of
surprise that amongst so numerous and influential a body of men,
possessing adequate incomes, and of increasing responsibility and
importance, no Society on the basis of Mutual Assurance has been
formed, for providing against the casualties of life, or the incapacity
of age.
The means of disseminating the principles and advantages of Life
Assurance throughout the country, and at the same time promoting
the success of a Society for Mutual Assurance, are peculiarly within
the influence of Commercial Travellers, who, it is reputed, consist
of upwards of 20,000 persons.
The United Mercantile and Travellers' Association has been
formed on the requisition of numerous respectable Commercial Gen-
tlemen, sensible of the advantages to be derived by themselves, their
Widows, and Families, in the establishment of a Society on the
principle of Mutual Assurance, who have pledged themselves to its
support. The Society also claims the influence and support of the
Principals of Mercantile Establishments ; its operations affording a
provision is advanced age, and thus relieving them from, either
supporting, for the residue of life, a faithful but incapacitated ser-
vant, or the pain of seeing him in want.
The subseribed Capital of 50,0001. in Shares of 51. each is only
;necessary as a Guarantee Fund, to meet any immediate demands on
the Society ; and it is considered that no more than a Deposit of 1/.
be required.
The Shareholders' proportion of profits to be limited to either an
Annvity for 10 years, at 13/. 10s. per cent. on the amount paid on
their Shares ; or Si. per cent. on such amount paid.
The _Directors reserve the power of paying off those Shareholders
who do not claim the determinable Annuity after the expiration of
ten years.
In order to meet the peculiar circumstrnces of each particular in-
dividual, Tables are constructing, embracing not only many novel
features, but the most approved description of business transacted
by the existing Life Assurance and Annuity Offices :
Immediate Annuities, of a fixed or of an annually increasing

amount.
Deferred Annuities, either for fixed or annually increasing
amounts ; which may be paid for either in one sum, or con-
verted into equal, increasing, or decreasing annual payments
for any given time, short of the period when the Annuity is to
commence.
The Assurance at death either of a fixed sum, or of one annually
ilereasing in any given ratio, for which the premiums may be
aid in one sum, or in equal annual payments, or annual
pay:nents increasing or decreasing in any given ratio.
Assuraoce either of a fixed sum, or one annually increasing,
at a given age, payable however if the death of the party
should happen earlier.
The Policies may, at entrance, be so made as to give the option
to the parties, either of effecting a Life Assurance, or an equivalent
Deferred Sum or Annuity, or any other object more suited to the
views of the parties.
To afford the Members a provision in case of unforeseen calamity,
sickness, or temporary change of circumstance, the Society will at
alr times purchase its Policies at a fair value, or make advances
thereon is 2 proportion to the amount of Premiums paid.
All questions not involvinbitratig fraud between the Assured and the
Society, wal be referred to aron.
The of the Premiums will be calculated at as low a rate
whole
as is deemed consistent with the stability of the Society ; and as
the receipts of Ole Society will be employed in the purchase of
Reversionary Intai•ests, and other advantageous investments, after
the lapse of a few years, a considerable reduction thereon may be
confidently anticipatet?•
The Profits of the Society subject to the before-mentioned
of pay-
the
raents to the Shareholder, will be divided, at the expiration
first five years, annually, atoongst te aure five yea
d of rs' stand-
ing, in reduction of premiums, or ahs a b sure to their Policies ; re-
taining always four years' profit as a guarantee fund, except such a
proportion as shall be appropriated for the relief of the Widows of
Members in case of need, and in augmenting the Annuities to ne-
cessitous Aged Travellers and others, Members of the Society.
It is also intended to have a separate Table of Premiums, to effect
any of the foregoing objects at a fixed rate, the parties thereto not
participating in the profits of the Society.
Agencies will be established at Liverpool, Birmingham, Man-
.cliester, Sheffield, Leeds, Bristol, Norwich, and other principal
...towns, for facilitating the objects of the Society.
All Communications, and Applications for Shares, arc requested
tO k'se made by letter, post paid, addressed to the Secretary, at the
Tern norary Offices, o. 2, Great Carter-lane, Doctors' Commons,
where Prospectuses may be obtained, and also at No. 73, Grace-
