[ The Mutual Accumulation Society — Continued.]
II. To secure Provisions for Children. By payment of the trifling sum of
j£3, 8s. lOd. a-year upon the life of a child aged 1, there will, in the event of the
Society progressing as hitherto, and calculating according to the Government
Tables of Mortality, be payable to the child, on its attaining the age of 21, a sum
exceeding ,£120. Parents are thus enabled with advantage to set apart a small
specific sum from the income of each year for the purpose of providing for their
families ; and, by careful investments, combined with the benefits accruing from the
death of other members, a fund is accumulated greater than private individuals
could succeed in realizing by laying aside their annual savings ; whilst, in the event
of the benefit lapsing in consequence of the predecease of the child, the object
for which the fund was in the course of being provided no longer exists. On the
other hand, should the parent die, and it be found inconvenient to continue the annual
contributions, the benefit of those already paid is not thereby lost ; but, by an equitable
arrangement provided in the Deed of Constitution, the value of the past contribution
is ascertained according to a fixed rule therein laid down ; and the child, on surviving
the period of division, will be entitled to the corresponding. share of the Fund This
peculiar feature renders this Society the most advisable medium for securing provisions
to the Younger Chilbren of Landed Proprietors, and to the Families of those
engaged in Professional or Mercantile Pursuits, and, generally, of all whose
incomes are dependent on their life or health.
Detailed Prospectuses, containing Specimen Tables of the Rates of Contributions,
and all information, may be obtained on applying at the Head Office, or any of the
