The most rational motives to Life Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Assured, the Society
affords succo= to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) the event of unforeseen reverses.

ADVANTAGES OF THE ARGUS LIFE ASSURANCE

COM PAN Y. _
Low Rates of Premium.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As-
sured havo the security of the Company's income of £.50,000
per annum, yearly increasing, and an accumulating Assurance
Fund invested in Government and other available securities,
of considerably larger amount than the estimated liabilities of
the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale com-
patible with the security of the
.Assured, and the stability of
the Company, thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder
an immediate and certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the
deferred and frequently delusive prospect of a periodical division
of Profits.
