Empowered by special Acts of Parliament, and'by lioyal Charter in the reign of Queen Anne, to undertake all business connected with the Life Assurance, IS A PURELY MUTUAL OFFICE. The Norwich Union Life Society has no distinct body of proprietors ; the insurers at large are the recipients of the savings of the institution : the premiums paid, being in fact only deposits, revert to those who coin tribute them. SETTLEMENT POLICIES. To meet one of the greatest wants of the day tho Norwich Union issues Policies In the nature of settle ment, whereby a man in solvent circumstances, pro vided the matter is lumd fidr, may secure, without THE bisk of mankhuptcy, a certain and direct pro vision for his family. RESOURCES. Irrespective of the immense annual revenue of this Society, gradually and surely on the increase, it pos sesses a Reserve Fund of £2,300,000 and upwards, available for its requirements. RATES OP PREMIUM Are framed as low as are consistent with the due safety of the Society, and its A ctuary is calculated to be one of the most competent authorities in England, the' Court of Chancery having recently had to avail themselves of his experience in these matters ; and although apparently higher than some offices, assurers should pot loose sight of the fact that they receive it back, either in bonuses or in addition to sums assured, and in electing to insure in this Society they also avail themselves of the experience and safety of a concern that time has proved to rbe secure against all chances. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans <;n.\NTKn on skcuiutv OF BA.S{H!, FOREKIN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked vessels, and in time of peaoe, PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS.
