EQUITABLE FIRE OFFICE.
Capital-500,0001.
(Incorporated under 7 and 8 Vict., cap. 110.)

The leading principles of this Office are—Moderate and equitable
Rates of Premium for each elms of risk—Annual division of Profits.
The difficulty of collecting the elements on which to proportion
Premium to risk in Insurance against Loss by Fire has been so
great, that the rates at present charged are more the result of guess
than calculation.

It has been found by experience, that the total annual losses of the
different Established Companies have not bean proportionate to the
amount of annual Premiums received by each.
It is of the highest importance, both to the Insured and Insurers,
that such an anomaly should cease, and an approximation to the
true risk be made. To secure this object the Equitable Fire Insu-
rance Company is established.
The true rate of Premturn for Fire Insurance can only be ap-
,roached through Classification and Average, which has not hitherto
been sufficiently acted en, or systematically ap?lied.
Whatever he the nominal rate, the bonus or return periodically to
the Insured will determine the true Premium equitably payable, as
security against loss for so great a calamity as fire and the Insurer
is largely interested in this question, and will consult his interest by
supporting a system where, by a careful combination of Classifica-
tion and Average, the Premium will be proportioned to the risk.
The Equitable Fire Office will, by a constant analysis of its own
experience, from time to tine, adopt such rates of Premium as the
nature of the risk may justify, and will decline to enter into arrange-
ments as regards tariffs with other offices.
With this view an annual investigation will be made into each
class of risk, and a return of one moiety, or fifty per cent. of the nett
excess will be made to all classes of Insurers whose Policies have
been in force for three years.
Insurances against Loss by Fire are effected by this Company upon
every description of Property on moderate terms.
Farming Stock insured at 3s. per cent, without the Average Clause.
Prospectuses, and every information may be obtained, on applica-
tion at the Office, or to any of its Agents.

SHARE OF PROFIT INCREASE() FROM ONE-HALF TO
FOUR-FIFTHS.

Policies effected with this Society after Midsummer, 1850, and re-
maining in force a' each Septennial period of division, will PARTI-
CIPATE IN FOUR-FIFTHS of the Net Profits of the Society ac-
cruing after Midsummer, 1350, in proportion to their contributions
to those profits, and according to the conditions contained in the
Society's Prospectus and Act of PArliament.
The Premiums required by this Society for insuring Young Lives
are much lower than in many other old-esta bathed offices, and Insurers
are fully protected from all risk by an ample guarantee fund, in ad-
dition to the accumulated funds derived from the in t estments of
Premiums.
