LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
In ft,lditton to the subscribed Capital of 300,0001., the Assured have
the security of the Company's rapidly increasing income, and an
accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Covennnent and other
available securities, of considerably larger amount than the esti-
mated liabilities of the Con4oany.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible
with the security of the Assured and the stability of the Company,
thereby, in effect, giving to every Polley Holder an immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deterred and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.
