9YHIS Society, which confines its bust
a ness exclusively to assuring the lives
of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
surance Company, %labouring in the same
field, can offer. It's scale of Premiums,
although considerably lower than that OF
any other Company, has nevertheless been
found quite adequate to provide for the
risk of life in the West Indies, and suffi~
cient to create large SURPRISES, out of
which ReverSionary Bonuses, averaging
% per cent per annum upon the amount
assured have been distributed among II c
Members Of the Society.
Its career, during a period of 30 years,
has clearly demonstrated the fact that the
lives of persons residing in this part of
the world, are, when carefully selected,
almost as valuable as those inhabiting
Europe, aud that they do not demand
such excessive Premiums as are charged
by every other Company.
