gadHIS Society, which confines its bust
81 ness exclusively to assuring the lives
Of persons resident in the West Indies,
presents advantages such as no other AS
sulance Company, Iabouring 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 surpluses, out of
which. Reversionary Bonuses, averaging
2 per cent per annum upon the amount
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
FTemiums required to assure 500, for the
whole term, upon a single life -
