THE Policies, now in course of being issued by this Company, are free from all unnecessar}'- restrio
tions, and secm-e every advantage derivable from the system of Life Assurance.
The Premiums are strictly moderate.
The Participation Scheme was begun in 1840, and the oldest Policies for £1000
in connexion with it becoming Claims after payment of the Premiums falling due
in the current financial year, are increased to £1359, 8s. ; those for larger or
smaller sums being proportionately augmented. Bonus Additions may be sur-
rendered for their value in cash, or an equivalent reduction of future Premiums,
the Assured having their choice in all cases.
It is provided by the Company's Act of Incorporation, that Investiji:ations sliall take place at
intervals not exceeding Five Years, and intermediate Bonuses are allowed when Participating Policies,
in force at one Division of Profits, become Claims before another — an arrangement which secures for
such cases advantages similar to those claimed for Annual Investigations.
The business in this department has been greatly extended within the last few years.
Prospectuses, with every information, may be had on application.
