ESTABLISHED IN 1910.
INCORPORATED BY SPECIAL ACT 1851A
CHIEF OFFICE:
No. 20, HIGH STREET, B~RIDGETowN, BARBADOS
PHYLLIS Society, which confines its bust
q 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 sufi-
cient to create large SURPRISES, out of
which Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
81 per cent per annum upon the amounE
assured have been distributed among the
Members of the Society.
Its career, during q period of 80 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,
and that they do not demand such exces
slVe Premiums as are charged by every
other Company.
The following abridged Table shows the
Premiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -
, 1872-01-05

Assurances of every description Son sin
gle lives are granted by the Society for
any sum from 500 Dollars to 10000 Dol
lars.
Premiums are received Quarterly, .HGif~
yearly, or Yearly, at the option 5f the
Assured.
Assurers wishing to discontinue the pay
ment OF their Premiums, may either dis
pose OF their Policies to the Society upon
equitable terms, or obtain q free Policy
for a reduced amount.
Loans are granted to Members on the
Security of their Policies.
All claims occurring by death are
promptly met within 3 months after salts
factory proof of such death has been re-
celved by the Society.
Strict investigations into the position of
the Society are made quinquennially, and
the surplus then existing is allotted to the
Members, after a sufficient sum has been
set aside tor the purposes of the Reserve
Fund. The next investigation and Divi-
sion of Profits, will take place at the 31st
December, 1875.
The Society has Agencies in nearly all
OF the British West India Islands.

hope to hear the music from the band.
Quite an interesting feature during the even
ing was in the manner of selling cake which
was by ballot, Gentlemen were allowed the
right of suffrage on the payment of 10 cents.
The votes were poled and counted, and the sue
cessful candidate was declared the rightful Wn-
er of the cake. Among the successful candi-
dates were Miss Corde Howard, and Miss Rho
da Taylor, the latter having an overwhelming
majority.
A number of cakes were sold at auction. II
was an interesting and very pleasant occasion.
