but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
neretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. 16s. 6d.: 394/. 11s. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 466/. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent en deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
ease of premature death.
The report to the Annual General Meeting of Proprietors,
prispectuses, tables, &c., may be obtained at- the office of the
Society, by letter or otherwise, 26, Cornhill, London, or at
