LIFE SOCIETY:Guarantee Fund,£50,000.
ThisSociety is established on the just principles ofMutual Life Assurance, without entailing on its Members the liability incurred in other Institutions of a similar character.
The Justice and Liberality of its Principles, and their suitability to the wants of the Public, have obtained for it a large and rapidly increasing business; and it may fairly be considered one of the most flourishing and successful institutions of modern date.
The Policies,beingINDISPUTABLE, entail no trouble or inconvenience to the survivors.
PERSONS ASSURED IN THIS OFFICE HAVE THE FOLLOWING PRIVILEGES:
Every Member has a right to vote in the Election of Directors and Officers, by which means the Assured possess full control over the management and affairs of the Society.
Annual publication of Accounts, which are audited by Public Accountants, who are in no way interested in the Society.
No advantage is taken of a Member’s temporary inability to pay the Premium, as the Society will, on application, advance the required amount as often as the value of the Policy will admit.
No charge made for Policy Stamp, Entrance Money, or Medical Fees, nor is any other payment required beyond the Premium.
Should a Member fall into difficulties, or be otherwise totally unable to continue his payments, he would not, as in other Offices, lose all he had paid in, but would have a fresh Policy granted to him,Free from ant further Payments, and equivalent to the sum he had paid.
Annual distribution of Bonuses.
The Funds of the Society are employed in granting Loans to Members on approved Personal or other Security.
Members are entitled to deduct the Premiums paid to this Society in making their returns for Income Tax.
SPECIAL NOTICE.—Policies effected on the participating Scale before the 31st of December next, will be entitled to a Bonus, to be declared after the close of the present year, when a valuation of the Society’s assets and liabilities will be made. Extract from Directors’ Report of September 6, 1855:—“The Deed of Constitution enacts that, at the close of the year 1856, a valuation of the assets and liabilities of the Society shall be made, with a view to determine the amount of BONUS to be awarded to the Proprietors and Policy-holders; and if the same favourable rate of mortality continues to prevail, the result of this investigation cannot fail to be of the most highly satisfactory character.”—January 1, 1856.
FIRE COMPANY:Capital,£250,000 Sterling.Fully Subscribed by a Numerous,Influential,and Wealthy Proprietary.
THE FOLLOWING ARE AMONG THE MOST PROMINENT FEATURES OF THIS OFFICE.
I. Instead of making a small return to the Insurers at intervals of Five or Seven Years, this Company will returnANNUALLY FIFTY PER CENT.of thePROFITS, the advantage of which is felt as the renewal Premiums become due, virtually making a large reduction from future Payments.
II.No chargeforPolicieswhen the sum insured amounts to £300.
III. Persons Insuring in this Office for Seven Years, by a Single Payment, are charged Premium for Six Years only.
IV.Insurances Transferredfrom other Offices, without any expense, trouble, or inconvenience.
V.Claims Settledwith Promptness and Liberality.
The MUTUAL PRINCIPLE, with freedom from liability to the Insured, as applied to Fire Insurance, is a novel system, based on liberal and equitable arrangements, thereby securing to the Insured a participation in the Profits they themselves have created; hence, in proportion to the amount of business introduced to this Office by the Insured, so are their own Rates of Premium reduced, or their own Profits increased.

Attentionis particularly directed to the advantages offered by this Association to assurers of all classes.

Policies to the extent of £900,000 have been issued since its formation; and upwards of £30,000 have been paid to the representatives of deceased members. The Bonuses already declared have averaged 24 and 33 per cent. respectively on the premiums paid; while the mortality continues extremely favourable. Foreign residence permitted in most cases without extra charge, and a liberal sum given for Surrendered Policies.
THE BENEVOLENT DEPARTMENT,
Established for the benefit of Clerks, their Widows, and Children, has an Accumulated Capital of £15,000, and an Income of more than £1500 per annum.
