Important and Salutary Improvements have been introduced
tutu Life Assurance practice by this Company.
The Policies or Contracts of Assurance are Indefeasible and
indisputable.
.he whole Profits of the Mutual or Participating Branch of
Assurance, are divided amongst the Assured of that Class, who
ar
e relieved from all responsibility.
T•
he Lowest Rates of Premium, the Reduced or Non-parti-
Vating Rates, are intended for those who prefer an immediate
esaving to prospective accumulations.
Years,
of the Premiums may remain Unpaid for Seven
',ears, affording a greater facility for Loan Transactions than
any otherilen which has been suggested—allowing a Policy to
dro—
tpeat one-half of the usual sacrifice—and entitling the
from at a future period, when loss of health may prevent him
double
obtaining a New Assurance, to continue a Policy for
uouble the amount of the sum for which he has paid Premiums.
taiE.ndomments are granted to Children contingent on their at-
ng a specified age.
I?sums asssured may be made Payable to the Assured them-
'elves, at any specified age, or to their heirs or assigns, in the
anent of the Assured's death before that time.

Pany r their reports.
