INSURANCE DIEECTORY.
Ill
Edinburgh Life Assurance Company — continued.
Under Four successive Declarations of Profits, the accumulated Bonuses on the Company's oldest
Policies range from £50 to £173 per cent, of tlie sum originally Assured^ as shewn by the follow-
ing cases, taken from a fuller table in the Company's Booh Prospectus ; and in a case of extreme
age, a Policy of £300 was increased to £1122, 13s.
BONUS ADDITIONS Paid on some of the Oldest Policies of THE EDINBURGH LIFE ASSUE-
ANCE COMPANY wMcli have become Claims, varying according to Age, and the endur-
ance of each Policy.
Bonuses may be surrendered for a cash payment, or applied in reduction of the Annual Premium
Many Policy-holders have thereby wholly redeemed their Premiums, with a Bonus still attaching to
the Policy, and increasing.
To later entrants the results are, in proportion, equally satisfactory ; the Bonus declared on all
Participating Policies of seven years' endurance at last investigation, 1856, averaging upwards of
one and one-half per cent, -per annum of the sums assured, and the gradual advancing rate of
Bonus, affords the fairest prospect to all present and future Insurers, that these results will be
maintained, until they also shall derive equally high benefits, when they become the oldest existing
Policies of the Company.
An Intermediate Bonus (in addition to the above) between one Investigation and another affords
all the advantages that may be supposed to accrue from Annual Divisions.
Liberal Eesolutions connected with the conditions of the Policies of this OfSee make them, in
every respect, a sound negociable document, and in all Insurances for Family Provisions, or other-
wise, to protect the interest of Representatives, it may confidently be maintained, that in no other
Life Institution can higher benefits be derived by cdl First-class Lives.
Copies of the Eeports by Mr James Brown, accountant, on the principles of the Company's Plan
of Division, maybe had on application at the Head Office, or Agencies.
Twenty-one days allowed for payment of Premiums, after they become due, and in the event of
the party dying, paymejit within the twenty-one days, by the representatives, is held sufficient for
preserving the Policy.
Policies in this Office no way aflected by the Assured serving in Volunteer Corps.
Prospectus, and Printed Forms of the Proposal and Declaration for effecting an Insurance,
may be had, gratis, at the Head Office, or from any of the Company^ s Agents.
No Entrance Money, nc^ any charge beyond the payment of the Premium, in effecting a
Policy.
Very moderate Rates, without Participation, equivalent on Young Lives to an immediate Bonus
of considerable amount.
Claims paid three months after proof. •
