PARTIES about to insure would do well to consider the benefits which this old
established Corporation gives to the Assured, both under the Mutual Plan, (but
without risk,) and under the Non-Participation Plan. Under the former, about 84
per cent, of the whole Profits are divided among the Insured, while the Non-Participa-
tion Rates of the Company, compared with the Rates of the Mutual ones, give, at the
age of 30, an annual return of £5. 14s. on an Insurance of £1,200 ; or, in other words,
an Insurance of £1,475 may be effected with this Company for the same premium that
an Assurance of £1,200 would cost with the Mutual Companies at that age, exclusive
of 10s. per cent, of Entry-money, which this Company does not charge.
Parties insured with other Companies which do not declare their Bonuses for one or
two years to come, may have these secured to them by an Insurance with this Company
at a moderate rate.
