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

ADVANTAGES OF THE ARGUS LIFE ASSURANCE

COMPANY.
Low Rates of Premium.

In addition to the subscribed Capital of £300,000, the As-
sured have 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.

This process is_a very cheap one. It effectually protects
even the commonest Domestic or Colonial Timber and
Deals from Dry Rot and other causes of premature decay , and
trenders them equal to the best Timber from the Baltic. No
doubt can exist of its efficacy in the preservation of all the
above-named articles, after the Official Reports from the heads
of various Government Departmerts, which may be seen, to-
gether with the Specimens, at the Company's Office, No. 4,
Castle-court, Birchin-lane, Cornhill, London.

One-third of whole term premium may remain unpaid at
5 per cent. compound interest, as a debt upon the policy for
life, or may be paid off at any time without notice.
In Assurances for Advances of Money, as security for debts
or as a provision for a family, when the least present outlay
is desirable, the varied and comprehensive tables of the Argus
Office will be found to be particularly favourable to the As-
sured.
A Board of Directors, with the Medical Officers, attend
daily at a quarter before Two o'clock.
