FIRE and LIFE ASSURANCES may be effected with this Cor-
poration on advantageous terms.

In the Life Department, assurances are granted with participation
in profits, or, at lower Premiums, without such participation.
The Reversionary Bonus on British Policies has averaged nearly
2 per cent. per annum on the sum assured, or 48 per cent. upon the
Premiums paid.
Equivalent reductions have been made in the Premiums payable
by those persons who preferred that form of Bonus.
The future division of Proilt -will take place every Five years.

Any sum not exceeding 15,000/. may be insured on one life.
This Corporation affords to the Assured
Liberal Participation in Profits—with exemption from the
liabilities of partnership.
A rate of Bonus equal to the average returns of Mutual Socie-
ties—with the guarantee of a large invested Capital Stock.
The advantages of modern practice—with the security of an
Office whose resources have been tested by the experience of
nearly a Century and a-half.
