THIS OFFICE offers to the Public the security of a large Subscribed Capital as a
Guaranteed Fund against any contingencies, in combination with all the advantages re-
■swltmg horn participating in the Profits of the Company or\ the Mutual Insurance principle;
Five Sixths of the ascertained profits in the participating scheme are added every fifth year to
the amount in each policy of this class, in proportion to the sum insured, and the number of yearly

remain on credit, interest at five per cent being payable in advance.
