This Company was established in 1831, by persons connected with
that large and influential body of individuals—the Licensed Victual-
lers of England. From that period to the present time, great as its
increase has been amongst that particular class, it has been signally
and extensively patronised by the Merchants, Traders, and Public at
large, who have effected Life Policies to the extent of roar-fifths, and
Fite Insurances to the amount of five-sevenths of the entire business
of the Company—thus evidencing the general support which th!s As-
sociation has received throughout the kingdom.
Fire Insurances effected on all descriptions of property, at the low-
est rates of Premium commensurate with the nature of the risks.
Seven Years Policies charged only for Six. No Charge for New Po-
licies or for Stamps on Transfer. Claims settled forthwith.
Life Assurances effected to any amount up to 5.000/. on the lowest
Premiums consistent with the fair interests of the Policy-h. lders.
and on terms of accommodation highly advantageous to the Assured.
Policies issued payable during the life time of the Assured, at the
ages of 50, 55, and 60 years, or at his or her death, should it occur
at an earlier period.
Annuities and Reversions purchased.

fug. MAJOR AND HIS WAGER.
. A smart young fellow of the name of Major
Reselv'd one day
That he would lay
A singularly interesting wager,
The bet which Mr. Major laid was this
(And certainly 'tis not so much amiss) ;
Six Overcoats were to be made
By different artistes in the trade.
The number of the Coats was not much heeded,
For, as it happen'd, they were, just then, needed.
The garments being made,
Were on a taole to be laid ;
And after that an umpire was to fix
On one among the six,
And if the one selected from the rest,
As being best,
Turn'd out to be the Coat of M. and SON,
The curious wager
Of Mr. Major
Was to be view'd as hcnourably won.
The umpire chosen was a Mr. Grainger,
A man whose taste
Is rightly placed.
And, I would add, to this a perfect stranger.
The time arrived, and Mr. Matthew Major
Was all agog to hear about his wager.
The friends all met, the umpire came,
Straight to the coat-clad table,
And in a way most able,
Presided at the same.
The new-made Coats were thoroughly Inspected,
Aad one, as choicest, was at length selected.
All in the room save Mr. Major,
Who laid the wager
Looked right straight down their noses;
For, as you'll guess,
The choicest dress
Was that obtained of MOSES.
