- Life insurance on the Tontine plan,
which was first offered to the public five
years ago by the Equitable Life Assur-
ance Society, has become SO popular as to
attract attention to the nature Of the ben
efts of this form of insurance. They
arise from the fact that the excess Of the
premiums paid by those who are insured
on the Tontine plan remains with the So

years according TO the option of the in

those members who live to the end of their
periods at which time the accumulation
is to be divided among them proportion,

Persons insured in these TontiDe poll
cies, by this mutual agreement allowing
the surplus to accumulate for definite
period. may receive their proportion of
the entire accumulations in one cash pay
ment, and may also receive annual divi-
dends thereafter, as on the ordinary plan
of insurance, during the continuance of
their policies. And these policy-holders
have the privilege, also, Of Withdrawing
their entire interest in the funds of the
Society, in cash. In other words, persons
insured in Tontine policies have the op-
ton, at stated times, of converting their
insurance into an endowment payable in
cash, thus terminating the contract with
the Society without loss to themselves.
