This Society has been established Fifty-one Years, during which period it has issued 31,500 Policies, and paid to the representatives of 6617 deceased members £5,448,264 sterling.
To meet existing engagements, the Society possesses funds amounting to upwards of Two Million Pounds sterling, almost wholly invested on Real and Government Securities.
The Rates of Premium are lower than those of some offices by nearly 10 per cent., a benefit in itself equivalent to an Annual Bonus.
There is no Proprietary to divide with the Assured the profits of this Institution, which is one of the very few purely Mutual Insurance Offices. Persons, therefore, now effecting Insurances will receive the full benefit of the system, and will be entitled to participate in the large reserves of the Society, which are applicable for future Bonuses.
One-half of the first five Annual Premiums may remain as a permanent charge upon the Policies granted for the whole duration of life.
NO CHARGE IS MADE FOR POLICY STAMPS.

The benefits to be derived by the Public from Insurance against Loss by Fire are so great and numerous, when compared with its trifling cost, as to render it an imperative duty on every one to avail themselves of the protection afforded by this Institution, against the destructive ravages of Fire, which in a few moments may lay waste the fruits of a whole life of industry.
