LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY,
3, Charlotte-row, Mansion-house, London.
RICHARD SPOONER, Esq., M.P., Chairman.
BENJAMIN IFILL, Esq., Deputy Chairman.
THIS IS THE ONLY GUARANTEED MUTUAL COMPANY,
those assuring on the participating principle having the security of a
joint-stock company, and being entitled at the same time to the
whole of the mutual profits.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed
of constitution not to dispute any policy unless they can prove that it
was obtained by fraud, and for this purpose the Company have, by a
clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived them-
selves of the power of objecting to any policy unless they undertake
to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresen-
tation.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themselves to pay
the full amount of the policies, although the debts for which they
were effected shall have been liquidated before the claim arise.
THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour
of creditors' whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured,
although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe.
BY THE HALF-PREMIUM PLAN only one-half of the first
seven years' premiums is required, the other half being payable at
the convenience of the assured, thus allowing a policy to be con-
tinued for seven years at one•haLf of the usual rate, or to be dropped
at one-half of the usual sacrifice.
A reduction of 25 per cent. has been declared upon the current
year's premiums of all participating policies of five years' standing.
Copies of the last report, prospectuses, and all other information,
may be obtained from the manager or agents.
