METROPOLITAN LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY FOR MUTUAL ASSURANCE.

This Society APPROPRIATES the NVIIOLE of the PRO-
FITS to the reduction of the Premiums of its Members, and
this is UNDIMINISHED by AGENCY or COMMISSION,
the business of this Society being conducted without incurring
that expense. The effect of the principle of Mutual Assur-
ance, so carried out, is shown by the abatement of FORTY
per Cent. declared for the ensuing year, upon the Premiums of
Members of Five Years' standing, and which abatement has
been computed on data justifying the expectation of the conti-
nuance of an equal rate of abatement, at least, throughout th a
remaining term of life.
This abatement of Forty per cent., the amount being laid
out in a new Assurance, is equivalent to a bonus of one-third
of the amount of the existing Policy.
