THE
under&igned Agents to the. COUNTY
• FIRE OFFICL and PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE, beg
leave to invite the atts (Won of the Public to the important
sailvantaves which are peculiar to those popUlar Establish-
ments,
Permanent Capitals, amounting to 6:0,0001. have been
• ilMuett in addition to the fluctuating capitals arising front
The Premiums—and it is expressly provided that these funds
alone shall he answerable for losses.
After paying losses and expenses, the profits are divided
ritnongs those who now ensure, as well as older mem-
bers, in kuportion to their respective cow rintitions. Hence
these Offices combine the minor advantage of Sharing Profits,
att in Union Societies, wiih the stability of companies having
large capitals.
In the Fire Office, Returns of 20 and es per cent. have been
invariably paid to all persons who have continued insured
..even Years, whether their Policies were taken out for Seven
*Years in one payment or were renewed annually—an
jedran-
taee to the P,i tic which has never been at-lorded by any other
• well scented Office. And it is of great importance to the
Public to know that the Returns are not enhanced by eVasion
of claims. This Office has never had a single Litigation with
any claimant.
In the Life Office, Bonuses of 131.85. and 2CI. 12s. per cent.
have been divided during the last loin teen years.
Advantages thus extensive and substantial have been con-
stantly realized during a period of fifteen years, under the
Plan and management of these Offices; the difference between
the value of Policies issued hi these Offices and by others, as
veil as the dlffetence between long approved conduct and
Untried professions, will be readily appreciated.
