THE SCOTTISH EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY is an Institution
peculiarly adapted for securing family provisions. It is a purely Mutual Assurance
Society. The whole Profits are allocated every Five Years, and no part is, as in the
case of a Proprietary Company, diverted from those who are assured, and paid away to
Shareholders. The additions which have already been made to Policies, afford the clearest
evidence of the prosperity of the Institution, and the great advantages derived by its
members.
