during which period upwards of £350,000 have been paid in satisfaction of claims.
IL MODERATE RATES OF PREMIUMS, which will bear comparison with those of any other Company,

buted to the Fund.
V. NO CHARGE MADE FOR ENTRANCE MONEY, Medical Fees, or Policy Stamp.
VI. POLICIES PAYABLE AT 63 or previous death, and one-half of first Seven Premiums allowed to

VII. LOANS ADVANCED on approved security, in conjunction with Life Policies.
VIII. POLICIES BECOMING CLAIMS during the days of grace will be at once admitted, provided the
premium is duly paid within the specified time.
IX. THE BUSINESS IN SCOTLAND (centred under a Board of Resident Directors) is so constituted
as to confer all the benefits of purely Scotch Offices. The Company may sue or be sued in the Scotch
Courts, and does not require probates or letters of administration on the lapsing of Life Policies.
