THE advantages offered by this Company consist of perfect Security, arising from an
amply subscribed Capital, and invested accumulation amounting to nearly £200,000.
One-third of the Premium during the whole term of life may remain as a permanent
loan on. the Policy, thus enabling a person to secure an Insurance for £1,500 at the
rate of £1,000.
Persons desirous of discontinuing their Policies can have them converted into absolute
Reversions, provided they have been in existence for five clear years. For example, a
Policy now in force for £2,000, effected in 1837, on a life aged 41, could now be
exchanged for one for £1,030, 8s., free from all further premiums. This plan is highly
favourable to Insurers, as it prevents a serious loss being sustained by the sale of the
Policy.
Creditors and others having a bona fide Interest in Policies, can have them rendered
indisputable securities.
No charge made for Policy Stamps.
