Persons effecting Assurances with the Alliance Company, enjoy the following important Advantages:—
I. Perfect Security.—The large invested Capital, and the personal responsibility, of upwards of One Thousand Shareholders, render the security undoubted.
II. Moderate Premiums of Assurance.—The Rates for Life Assurance will be found generally reasonable; and, for the younger Ages, lower than those in use in many of the older and most respectable Offices.
The Premiums for Assurance on Fire are the same as those which are demanded by the first class of Assurance Companies.
III. Participation of Profits by the Assured, both in Life and Fire.—The Profits, appropriated to the participating Assured, are applied, every Five Years, to the increase of the amounts assured, or to the reduction of the future Premiums, according to the choice of the Assured.
The Profits of the Fire Department appropriated to the Assured, are distributed at the close of each successive period of Five years, in the form of a per-centage on the Premiums which have been paid.
IV. Parties who obtain the settlement of Losses from Fire are not thereby deprived of their right to participate in the Profits of the Company.
V. Losses by Lightning are made good.
VI. The Company are liable for losses by Explosion, unless such explosion should be occasioned by gunpowder deposited on the premises, or except in cases specially provided for in the Policy.
The Directors grant Loans on the sole security of the Company’s Policies, if unencumbered, to nearly the full extent of their value, provided such value will justify an advance of not less than £50.
The Cost of the Stamps upon Life Policies is borne by the Company.
Life Committees are held at the Office every Wednesday and Friday at one o’clock; but to facilitate transactions, appearances can be taken, when requisite, on any other day.

LIFE SOCIETY: Guarantee Fund, £50,000.
This Society is established on the just principles of Mutual Life Assurance, without entailing on its Members the liability incurred in other Institutions of a similar character.
The Justice and Liberality of its Principles, and their suitability to the wants of the Public, have obtained for it a large and rapidly increasing business; and it may fairly be considered one of the most flourishing and successful institutions of modern date.
The Policies, being INDISPUTABLE, entail no trouble or inconvenience to the survivors.
PERSONS ASSURED IN THIS OFFICE HAVE THE FOLLOWING PRIVILEGES:
Every Member has a right to vote in the Election of Directors and Officers, by which means the Assured possess full control over the management and affairs of the Society.
Annual publication of Accounts, which are audited by Public Accountants, who are in no way interested in the Society.
No advantage is taken of a Member’s temporary inability to pay the Premium, as the Society will, on application, advance the required amount as often as the value of the Policy will admit.
No charge made for Policy Stamp, Entrance Money, or Medical Fees, nor is any other payment required beyond the Premium.
Should a Member fall into difficulties, or be otherwise totally unable to continue his payments, he would not, as in other Offices, lose all he had paid in, but would have a fresh Policy granted to him, Free from ant further Payments, and equivalent to the sum he had paid.
Annual distribution of Bonuses.
The Funds of the Society are employed in granting Loans to Members on approved Personal or other Security.
Members are entitled to deduct the Premiums paid to this Society in making their returns for Income Tax.
SPECIAL NOTICE.—Policies effected on the participating Scale before the 31st of December next, will be entitled to a Bonus, to be declared after the close of the present year, when a valuation of the Society’s assets and liabilities will be made. Extract from Directors’ Report of September 6, 1855:—“The Deed of Constitution enacts that, at the close of the year 1856, a valuation of the assets and liabilities of the Society shall be made, with a view to determine the amount of BONUS to be awarded to the Proprietors and Policy-holders; and if the same favourable rate of mortality continues to prevail, the result of this investigation cannot fail to be of the most highly satisfactory character.”—January 1, 1856.
FIRE COMPANY: Capital, £250,000 Sterling.
Fully Subscribed by a Numerous, Influential, and Wealthy Proprietary.
THE FOLLOWING ARE AMONG THE MOST PROMINENT FEATURES OF THIS OFFICE.
I. Instead of making a small return to the Insurers at intervals of Five or Seven Years, this Company will return ANNUALLY FIFTY PER CENT. of the PROFITS, the advantage of which is felt as the renewal Premiums become due, virtually making a large reduction from future Payments.
II. No charge for Policies when the sum insured amounts to £300.
III. Persons Insuring in this Office for Seven Years, by a Single Payment, are charged Premium for Six Years only.
IV. Insurances Transferred from other Offices, without any expense, trouble, or inconvenience.
V. Claims Settled with Promptness and Liberality.
The MUTUAL PRINCIPLE, with freedom from liability to the Insured, as applied to Fire Insurance, is a novel system, based on liberal and equitable arrangements, thereby securing to the Insured a participation in the Profits they themselves have created; hence, in proportion to the amount of business introduced to this Office by the Insured, so are their own Rates of Premium reduced, or their own Profits increased.
AGENT FOR CHESTER:
MR. THOMAS HUGHES, 4, PARADISE ROW.
PROVIDENT CLERKS’
MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION, AND
BENEVOLENT FUND.
Established 1840.
Attention is particularly directed to the advantages offered by this Association to assurers of all classes. It embraces Mutual Life Assurance in all its branches, and has a Revenue, as shown by the last balance-sheet, of more than £20,000 per annum. Policies to the extent of £900,000 have been issued since its formation; and upwards of £30,000 have been paid to the representatives of deceased members. The Bonuses already declared have averaged 24 and 33 per cent. respectively on the premiums paid; while the mortality continues extremely favourable. Foreign residence permitted in most cases without extra charge, and a liberal sum given for Surrendered Policies.
THE BENEVOLENT DEPARTMENT,
Established for the benefit of Clerks, their Widows, and Children, has an Accumulated Capital of £15,000, and an Income of more than £1500 per annum. Loans and Gratuities are granted for the relief of temporary embarrassment, and members are assisted in payment of their premiums when in distress. Annuities are granted to aged and infirm clerks, and to widows of clerks.
By order of the Board, WM. J. LINFORD, Secretary.
