LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
Persons Assuring in this Office have the benefit of the Lowest
Rate of Premium which is compatible with the safety of the Assured,
and which is, in effect, equivalent to an Annual Bones; they have
Ilkewiso the security of a large subscribed capital—an Assurance
Fund of nearly a Quarter of a Million—and an Annuai Income of
upwards of 60,0001., arising from the issue of between 5,000 and
6,000 Policies.

Oue half of the " Whole Term" Premium may remain on credit
for seven years, or one-third of the Premium may remain for life as a
debt upon the policy at 5 per cent., or may be paid off at any time
without notice.

In Assurances for Advances or Money, as security for debts, m
as a provision for a family, where the least present outlay is desirable,
the varied and comprehensive tables of the Argus Office will be found
to be particularly favourable to the Assured.

Claims paid in one month after proofs have been furnished.
The Medical Officers attend daily at a Quarter before Two o'Clock,
