THIS Office lias been established for the last Twenty Years, during which period a very
large amount of Fire and Life Business has been done in Scotland, and the increas-
ing business of this Company is to be attributed to the numerous advantages and facilities
it offers to the Commercial Community, as well as the liberality with which all its
operations are conducted.

This Company issues Policies upon every description of Property, including Mills and
Special Risks, upon the most favourable terms.
Insurances effected in all parts of the World, either through the Head Office or their
Agents.
The several Foreign Agents have power to settle all claims for losses, thereby avoiding
the serious delay resulting from the ordinary method of arranging with the Head Office.
Policies transferred from other Offices free of expense.
The Renewal Receipts of Fire Policies can be made to fall due at either the Scotch or
English Terms.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.
In this branch of business this Company offers peculiar advantages, combining all the
improvements in the mode of Insurance which experience has proved to be desirable, with
the security arising from a large subscribed capital and an established business, and like-
wise the benefit the Life Policy-Holders derive from the profits accruing from the Fire
Department.
Life Insurances are effected in all its branches, both at home and abroad, at the most
moderate rates consistent with security to the assured, comprising
Whole life and short term policies.
