T' HE special advantages offered by this well established Society are— 1 UNDOUBTED SECURITY.—On the 28th "Peb 1869, the ascertained total liability of the Society was £453,000 While the accutnmulated assets were ••; 602>6*6 Showing a dear Surplus of ... £149,646 There is over and above the Assurance Fund, die additional security of a Special Reserve Fund of £50,000. At the above date the Society had in hand equal to 10 per cent, of tie entire Assurance Premiums received from mT. LARGE BONUSES.—Because being a purely Mutual Office the entire Profits belong lo the Assured, and have not to be paid away in Dividends to Shareholders. The total Re versionary Bonuses declared by the Society amount to £485,000. Members of the Assurance Branch can ob tain the value of their Bonuses in Cash, or appropriate them to a reduction of future Premiums. Premiums may be paid Half-Yearly or Quarterly. '*«.'*■'. -, c Should a member die during the days of grace whilst the premium is unpaid, the Policy will still be valid and effectual. PROFITS DIVIDED EVEBY FIVE YEARS.

Conditions 'for Residence and Voyaging Most Liberal. THE AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVI DENT SOCIETY. Is a purely Mutual Life Office, Local to Australia and New Zealand, not confined to one Colony, but common to all; Local to each Colony, but not restricted to any, and operating upon a broader basis, is therefore Safer than an Office confined within narrow limits. ■ Is a Life Office having a large number of -policy holders in New Zealand, and investing its Revenue from that place in the Public Securities of the Country. The Assets of tho Society comprise New Zealand Debentures to the value of £64,000. Was established in 1849, and it has- suc cessfully passed through the ordeals to which all new Life Offices are exposed. Having completed the Twenty-first Year of its exis tence, it has achieved a position of Stability aud Affluence unexampled in the history of Life Offioea. Its Accumulated and Invested Fund ex ceeds ... ... ... ... ... £700,000 Its Income is over ... 200,000 a year. THE PROFITS BELONG-EXCLUSIVELY TO ITS MEMBERS. From the magnitude of "its resources it is enabled to declare LARGE BONUSES. The sources of profit are increased by the high rate of interest obtained on the Invested Funds, also by the difference between the margin provided for Expenses, and the low rate of expenditure actually incurred by the Society, an advantage incidental to a large Business, Neitheb of which can Exist in a New- Office. The Annual revenue was increased by £32,236 from New Assurances effected in the past year, a rate of progress which entitles it to rank with the First-class Assurance Insti tutions of the United Kingdom.
