The County is the only Fire Office which has constantly
made Returns to its Members, and for a long series of Tears.
These Returns have varied from 10 to 25 per cent. and have
amounted to upwards of 100,0001.
In the Life Office, nearly the whole of the profits are divided
among the parties insured. Their effect may be judged of
from a Policy taken out by his late Majesty on his own life
for 3,0001., which additions increased to 3,9631.
Upwards of thirty Insurance Offices having been broken up
within a few years, and about fifty new ones having been pro-
jected within the ast two or three years, it may be necessary
to observe, that all the substantial advantages promised by such
new Offices have been long realised under the plans and ma-
nagement of the Provident Life Office.
