AD VE RTISEMENTS.
THE ORIGINAL SOCIETY-ESTABLISHED 1840.
THE GUARANTEE SOCIETY,
No. 19 BIRCHIN LANE, GORNHILL, LONDON, E.G.
Empowered by Special Act of Parliament, 5 Victoria— Session 1842.
Suretyship undertaken for the Fidelity of Persons in Situations
of Trust, on the yearly payment of a small sum at a
stipulated rate per centum.
CAPITAL £100,000 FULLY PAID UP AND INVESTED.
This Society was the first Public Company established in
Great Britain to obviate the inconvenience and defects
of Suretyship by Private Bondsmen, its Security
being adopted by
HER MAJESTY'S GOVERNMENT,
BY
The Bank of England, the Bank of Ireland,
The Council of the Duchy of Cornwall,
The Secretary of State in Council for India,
The Court of Chancery, the Local Government Board,
The Corporation of the City of London,
The Principal Bankers, Railway Companies, Public Companies, and
Commercial Firms in the United Kingdom.
The Society, by Special Act of Parliament, is expressly authorised to give
security for persons appointed to any office or employment, or Commission,
Civil or Military, in any Public Department, or to any office or employment
of Public Trust under the Crown.
PERSONS of the highest character and qualifications fre-
quently decline valuable appointments, either from an unwillingness
to place themselves and their friends under so serious an obligation, or the
great difficulty of obtaining satisfactory Sureties ; but the Institution of this
Society removes these difficulties.
The GUARANTEE SOCIETY undertakes, for a small yearly premium, to
make good to the employer any loss by the fraud or dishonesty of the
person employed, according to the amount specified in the bond, and there-
fore obviates the necessity for Private Sureties, as well as the evils arising
therefrom, which often prove as prejudicial to the real interests of the em-
ployer as to the person finding the guarantee of Private Friends.
Employers, by the existence of the Society, are assured of the continued
solvency of the Surety for the person employed, and the security thus
becomes a permanent one.
Friends and Relatives are relieved of the fear of those pecuniary losses to
which persons are exposed who become responsible for the acts of others.
All necessary information can be had of the Secretary and Agents.
Rates according to the nature of the Employment or the amount of the Security
required.
Security granted on behalf of Receivers and Official Liquidators,
under the Court of Chancery, on advantageous terms.
Secretary— AUGUSTUS MUZIO.
AGENTS IN ABERDEEN—
Duguid, Peterkin, & Duncans, Advocates, 1 King Street.
