The /Sates of Premium are those adopted by the principal Life
Offices, the. rate without bonus is lower that that of most other
offices.
The Bonuses are added to the Policies, or applied to the reduction
•f the Premiums.
Policies issued by this office are purchased at their full value ; or
Loans may be obtained upon them, after they have been in existence
fir five years.
If a party neglect to pay for the renewal of his Policy, he may
repair the omission any time within twelve months, upon proof of
food health.
The Profits (subject to a trifling deduction) are divided among the
Insured. The plan upon which they are divided gives to each party
insured a share proportionate to the amount of the Premiums he has
contributed.
In addition to the above advantages, the Directors have determined
to adopt the principle of allotting a prospective Bonus to Policies
lapsing between the Septennial periods of division, in order that all
the PolicyhOlders may participate equally in the Profits of the
Society.
The following Table shows the amount of Bonuses added to Policies
existing at the present time.
