THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by
their deed of constitution not to dispute any policy, unless they
prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresents-
tations ; and numerous casts have shown how worthless may be
a policy obtained from the most influential office, which is un-
restrained by this equitable principle, which removes ail anxiety
as to future dispute or litigation, and enhances immeasurably
the value of the policies as documents of security.
THIS IS TILE ONLY COMPANY who give to the
assured on the mutual principle the whole of the mutual accu-
mulations, and also guarantee the sums assured.
THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind them-
selves to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for
which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the
claims arise.

THIS ✓
IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who
grant in favour of creditors whole-world policies, whereby the
debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the
limits of Europe.
