This Association has been formed principally with the view of af-
ording to gentlemen engaged in GOVERNMENT and PUBLIC
OFFICES, BANKING HOUSES, and MERCANTILE ESTI-
rItLISHMENTS, a safe and advantageous mode of investing a portion
et their incomes, either by way of deposit, at 71. per Cent. compound
!Merest, or in the purchase of freehold or leasehold residences.
The operations of this Society will be regulated by Tables prepared
• expressly for that purpose by two eminent actuaries. .
„ The leading prirciples of this Society Me—
Parent equality of benefit between all the Members, whether
borrowers or not.
2. Certainty in the amount of advance te which each Member
hag to anticipate his Shares will be entitled at any given period
the flec:ety's existence, with the means of ascertaining precisely
any date the amount payable to retiring Members, and the value
Of the Sbaret of continuing Members.
Members may pay up the whole or any port'on o: their subscrip-
tions ter the ten years, in advance, and discount, after the rate of 4/.
Der O/et per annum, will be allowed for the sums so paid.
tribbers Wishing to withdraw their Subscriptions may do so after
the first year, without fine ; and subsequently to that period corn-
Pound interest at the rate ef 61. per Cent. per annum will be allowed
bin the palm withdrawn.
Mosel_ may be transferred free of stamp duties.
is 7 the plan adopted in this Society new Members entering at
allY period. and all Members taking up additional Shares, may have
• °ails advanced to them without paying np arrears of Subscriptions ;
send the precise amounts that will be advanced either to old or new
A2einbers, are set forth in the Tables, a copy of which will be sup-
plied to every Member. This is manifestly far preferable to the ur.-
Zinai and objectionable system usually adopted of putting the shares
p to inintien, and advancing the money to those who submit to the
bu t discount ;by which racers the object of the Legislature,
Mach contemplated that each Member should derive precisely the
Ohre advantage, is entirely frustrated.
,:The monthly subscription, both to the borrowing and non-borrow-
-7.s:Members, is precisely the same, and continues the same to the
ra of the Society; borrowers are, there ore, relieved from the
resdvyintonlon full thly .4 redemption fee," and the mutual principle is
operation.car-
No MemberbR has any responsibility beyond the payment of his own
riPtions.
