PR OVIDENT LIFE OFFICE,
REGENT-STREET.
11e Public are insufficiently acquainted with the vast difference
Chien there is in the various Offices for Life Insurance. The
rofessions of all are pretty nearly equal, but their disparity in Per-
Croance is immense. Nearly all now offer a participation in pro-
in terms more or less vague ; but as of them make any profits,
,neertainty in that respect is of little consequence. A more mate-
;44 question is, When the claim arises, will it be paid? or, if inco-
:eniently large, will objections be sought for, and expensive litiga-
L.-fts raised to defeat it? Or else, if, after the contributions have
L'ee continued for a long series of years, and the Policy is drawing
'wards a claim, if, from any. accident or necessity, the annual pay-
;neat be omitted on the precise day, will the Managers take advan-
Ne of the omission, refuse to renew, annul the policy, and seize
all the deposit as a clear gain? Recent disclosures have shewn
...at the risk tho loas ur runtrintions LUIS ..., a. b.__ tllO.ll
the risk insured against.
It is therefore important to know, that the security and conve-
nience of the public in keeping up their policies are amply provided
for in the following condition, which is peculiar to the PRO-
VIDENT LIFE OFFICE :—" If, from any accident or necessity,
Parties do not renew at the stated periods, they are entitled to re.
Pair the omission at any time within a year, on the payment of a
fine of Ios. per cent, and proof of health." The profits in the
Pzotelernst Fe divided at the end of every seven years among the
in proportion to their respective contributions. These
have gone on increasing since 1806 to 40 per cent. Only an
eighteenth part of the profits is taken by the Shareholders, in con-
sideration of their advance and guarantee of a Quarter of a Million
sterling, and their exoneration of the other members, from any
loss. As the effect of these divisions of profits, in addition to the
policies, may be better understood by a few examples, the fol-
*wing are extracted from the list of claims paid during the last
year :___
