The objects of this institution are to establish, by the Monthly
Payments of Members, and by Public Donations and Subscrip
tiens,
I.—A Life Assarance Fund—an Assurance for pecuniary and
medical assistance in sickness or infirmity, and a pension in
old age.
2.—A Casual Fund, to relieve distressed Clerks, their Widows
and Families ; and
3,—To procure situations for Clerks, and to provide Princi-
pals with efficient and respectable Clerks, for which purpose
books are kept, and will be open to the inspection of Principals,
free of charge.
The attention of Merchants, Bankers, and Professional Gen-
tlemen, and also of their Clerks, and Clerks in Public Offices,
to this Institution, is earnestly requested.
The Society is based upon the. principles of a similar institu-
tion in London, which has been in beneficial operation for many
years, and towards which contributions amounting to several
thousand pounds were raised amongst the affluent to support
its praiseworthy and benevolent intentions.
A Society for the exclusive benefit of Clerks, having a local
interest, a local name, and a local management, to consult and
enter into the views and feelings of its members, has long been
wanting in Liverpool, and this association has been formed to
meet that want. _ _ _

It may be remarked that there is no class in society more
generally improvident than Clerks; many from a feeling that
they cannot join the common Benefit Societies, and the Assu-
rance Societies of a superior and safe class being, mostly, be-
yond their means; the Tables of this Association have, there-
fore been framed to suit the incomes and views of all, as will be
seen on reference to the subjoined extracts.
The Rules and Tables, as certified by the Registrar and
Actuary, are founded upon sound, just, and permanent princi-
ples, and may be inspected at the Office.
The Directors have been chosen from persons holding respon-
sible situations in some of our most respectable firms, and will
meet at the Office every Tuesday Evening, (for the present,) at
Seven o'clock, by whom and by the Bankers and Secretary,
Donations and Annual Subscriptions will be thankfully received.
The Board are happy to state, that they have already obtained
promises of support from the influential even beyond their most
sanguine expectations
