Under the Management of a Board of Directors.
This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea...thy, viz.:-
Ist. Insurii.g their lives in sums from Si. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weeic.y
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums hem.' divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 1001., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.
The attention of tLe Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
hence:orth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to any of the Society's Agents.
