SOOTTISI4 WIDOWS' FUND
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.

Founded A D. 1815.
MEAD OFFICE—No. 5, St. Andrew-square, Edinburgh.
_ The Assured or Members are the only parties interested in the
rUnds,ot this Institution, which row amounts to upwards of
THREE MILLIONS STERLING.
The Society's claims to public confidence and support are grounded
-4‘3lhlY on the sound and equitable principles of its constitution, and
(211 the care and success with which its operations have been con-
Mimed from their co-cmencentent up to the present time.
While the Premiums are not higher than those require.' by many
other Offices, the Society does rot pretend to compete with those
n'hich hold out the attractions of cheap rates, whether as being the
'Jest which are compatible with safety, or as being based oil what
As termed the " HALF-CREDIT SYLTEM."
There being no Proprietary, however, those of the Assured who by
the terms of their policies are entl led to participate in the Profits of
the Society, are the only parties who derive benefit from the rates
uOtIZ more than what are found from time to time to be required to
meet the actual risks; and the remit of pest allocations of Surplus
Profits has been such that in the csse of all the earlier Policies,
which have become claims wthin the last few years, the amounts
Paid to the representatives of deceased Members have been MORE
THAN DOUBLE TIE suns ORIGINALLY ASSERED.

In cases where...family provision is the We object this result cannot
fail to be considered as o; the most satisfactory nature ; while in other
Instances where the parties are desirous or security; benefit from the
Surplus Payments RURtNG THEIR OWN LIVES, instead of allowiistr the
Bonus to remain an sedition to the Assurance payable at death, the
alternatives practicable under the laws of the office have been com-
mensurate In degree. In ma ty cases, in consideration of an aban-
donment of the reversionary claims for Bonus Additions ahead, de-
eared, such parties have either received large payments in PRESENT
CASII, or have been LONG AGO ENTIRELY RELIEVED FROM FURTHER
PAYMENT OF PREMIUM, the Policies still remain.ng entitled to partici-
pate in future allocations of the profits.
Illustrations of the application of Bonus on either of the footings
above referred to are contained in the Society's Prospectu,es, which,
together with Forms of Proposal, &c., may he had on application at
the Bead Office, or to ahy of the Agents in the three kingdoms.
