among the most certain aud most desirable of
Investments. This Company, managed upon
principles of economy, offers the lowest rates of
Premiums, consistent with safety, and lower than
any other Company doing business in the State,

are realized in Virginia and by Virginia people,
and all reserve from Premiums, as security to
the Policy holders additional to the Capital
Stock, is invested by the Local Boards in that
