THE UNITED MERCANTILE TRAVEL-
LERS' ASSOCIATION and LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY,
for Granting of Aliment Money in Case of Sickness, and securing
Annuities to Aged Travellers, and Endowments to their Widows and
Children; and establishing a Charitable Relief Fund for the benefit of
Distressed Commercial Travellers, Clerks, and Buyers in Wholesale
Trades; and for mutual Assurance of Lives and Survivorships, and the
Purchase and Sale of Reversionary Property and Interests.

To no class of persons are the advantages of Life Assurance so ap.
plicable, and yet so little maturely considered and appreciated, as by
Commercial Travellers. It Is, indeed, a matter orsurprise, 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 casual.
ties of being deprived of health, or being incapacitated by age from
pursuing their previous avocation

This Society has originated with commercial men, sensible
of the importance of Assuring, to meet such possibilities; to
provide a Property for themselves, their Widows, and Children
against the vicissitudes of life; and especially for the purpose of
estabflshing, from a portion of the profits of the Society, a perma-
nent Fund for the Relief of Distressed Travellers, and those en.
gaged in Commercial pursuits.

Table. are preparing, uhder the sanction of eminent mathematicians
and experienced actuaries, to provide, on the principle of Mutual Amur_
ance, by payment of given premiums—

Of an income in case of sickness.
Of an Annuity, to commence at a given age, or the receipts of a cer-
tain sum in lieu of such Annuity; or a sum at death to the
Assured, or to the widow or child or children of the Assured.
Other Tattles will be formed, on the most approved and desirable
scale, for general Assurance of Lives and Survivorships, embracing all
contingencies incident to life. The premiums will be on the lowest
possible scale, consistent with the stability of the Society.
Although the Society will confine the Assurers, on the provision in
case of sickness, to Commercial Travellers, Clerks, and Buyers of Whole-
sale Merchants and Traders, yet the advantages connected with this
Society hold out to the public at large the benefit of Assurance on Lives
and Survivorships, or contingencies dependent on the duration of human
life, equal, if not greater, than other establishments.

The Society, basing its operations on the strictest principles of
economy, relies on the support of the Mercantile Interest, and especially
on the Commercial Travellers, by whose exertions the objects of the
Society may be extended to an unprecedented extent.
The funds of the Society will be vested in the names of Trustees of
the first rank, and the management placed with Directors, to be chosen
from Merchants and Principals Gf Houses in London, of influence, re.
spectability, and wealth. Local Committees will, in like manner, be
formed at Liverpool, Birmingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Bris-
tol, and Norwich.
One-fifth of the whole profits of the Society, at the end of every year
after the first five years, are to be divided on equitable principles—
four-fifths amongst the Assured of five years' standing, in reduction of
premiums ; and one.fifth for the establishment of a fund to be applied
solely for the charitable relief of decayed or distressed Commercial
Travellers and Mercantile Men, as well as any funds derived from do-
nations, bequests, or other charitable subscriptions.
The importance of this Society must be evident to all engaged in mer-
cantile pursuits; and the Society looks with confidence to the co-opera-
tion of Gentlemen of rank and influence throughout England, in pro_
rooting its prosperity ; and who are invited to permit their names to he
added to the Provisional Committee, already formed in Landon, for
carrying the objects of the Society into immediate operation.
All communications are requested to be made by Letter, post paid,
addressed to the Honorary Secretary, at the temporary Offices of the
Society, No. 2, Great Carter lane, Doctors' Commons.
