THD'CQUNTY FIRE:-OFFICE and PRO.
VIDENT LIFE OFFICE, REGENT-STREET, were
the ORIGINAL
,OFFICES which _effected Insurances upon
the principle of combining the Security of an adequate and
Permanent Capital (in addition to the fluctuating Funds aris-
ing from the Premiums), with the beneficial rule of return
ing, at stated periods, the Surplus 'of the annual Premiums
to the Contributors, after paying Lessee and Expends. The
importance of this Improvement is acknowledged br extra-
ordinary public approbation,attd by the numerous imitations
of it, which New Offices have lately offered, and which
older ones have adopted, in changing their Constitutions.—
The principle is of chief value, because, as it yields, by the
Specific Sums insured, and the Return of the Surplus, the
fullest Value for the Deposits, persons have no reasonable
motive for venturing on the litre of reduced and insufficient
Premiums proposed to ahem by Adventurers, and which has
led to frequent instances of dissdppointment and ruin.
CAPITALS, A MILLION STERLING and upwards.
SIXTY-FIVE THOUSAND PERSONS bare sought pro.
Motion in the COUNTY OFFICE, and have found it.
CLAIMS have been paid to Sixteen Hundred Claimants.
Exempt from the Expenses of Liwsuits, and also from the
sacrifice of an enormous Commission to Agents, to which
some New Offices submit, to induce them to canvass for busi-
ness, great accumulations have been made. In these, per-
sons who now Insure ,participate equally with the original.
Members.
RETURNS of 25 and 20 per cent. in consequence, have
been Invariably paid to all persons who have continued In-
shred seven years, upon Annual as well as upon Septennial
Policies, and whether they have been Claimants for losses or
otherwise.-42,000 have been returned in this way to about
211,000 persons Insured, within the last nine years—an im-
portant advantage which no other Insurance Office existing
hes afforded.
