CITY OF LONDON LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY.
(Lucerporated by Act of Parliament, 7 and 8 Vic., cap. 110), for Ac-
cumulative and General Assurances.
No. 2, Royal Exchange-buildings.
Capital, Quarter of a Million.
This office, though strictly proprietary, with a subscribed capital
fully adequate to its requirements, offers the advantages of the mu-
tual system, without involving the assured in its risks or liabilities,
and affords facilities in every department, on principles of true eco-
nomy, limited only by strict regard to security.
The rates of premiums are founded not upon local, imperfect, or
theoretic data, but upon the actual experience of the most important
offices in existence.
The Accumulative, or Deposit Assurance, is a new and valuable
extension of life assurance, introduced by this office, enabling the
assured not only to discontinue the premiums, without forfeiture of
the policy, but also to withdraw the whole, or any portion, of the
amount deposited.
Together with the advantage of being able at any time to vary, or
altogether omit, the annual premium.
All further information may be obtained, on application to
EDWARD FREDERICK LEEKS, Secretary.
