INVALID LlVES.—Persons not in sound health may have their
lives insured at equitable rates.
ACCOMMODATION IN LOAN TRANSACTIONS.—OnIy one-half of the
Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be
paid for the first five years, simple interest being charged on the
balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance
of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower
having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties,
or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur-
rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in
such arrangements.
The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous
when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions,
or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as
it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com-
panies before the present system was instituted by this office.
Loans are granted likewise on real and personal securities.
ADVANTAGE OF INSURING BEFORE DEC. 31, 1858.—Policies effected
before this date will participate to a greater extent than if delayed
after that period.

tion to the Resident Director,
