Insurance. NORWICH UNION LIFE INSURANCE SOCIETY, Empowered by special Acts of Parliament, and by Royal 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 doposits, revert to those who con tribute them. SETTLEMENT POLICIES. To meet one of the greatest wants of the day the Norwich Union issues Policies in the nature of settle ment, whereby a man in solvent circumstances, pro vided the matter is bond fide, may secure, without the risk of bankruptcy, 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. RA.TES OF PREMIUM Are framed as low as are consistent with the due safety of the Society, and its Actuary 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 hould not 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 be secure against all chances. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans granted on sbcuhitv of same. FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked vessels, and in time of peace. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS. In this office it is anticipated] that persons entering at 20 will be relieved from further premiums at 44 40 „ „ „ 00 60 „ „ „ 60 Medical Fees are paid by the Company, and there are no charges for Stamps, Policies, &c. One-half the first iive years' promiums may remain unpaid upon whole Life Polioios. T. B. KENDERDINE, Esq.,M.D., Medical Referee. Intending assurers are recommended to call upon the undersigned for prospectus and further particulars NORWICH UNION EIRE INSURANCE SOCIETY. The SECURITY afforded by this long-established Society is unquestionable, its rates exceedingly mode rate, and its regulations liboral. INSURANCES for 7 years charged as C.

WE beg to intimate that we are engaged in the compilation of an Almanac for he Province of Auckland for the year 1873, which will be issued early in December of the present year. Without reflecting on any previous productions in , this special field of literature, we believe that we can ■ produce a work that will meet the wants of the residents in the city and province to an extent not yet attained by any local Almanac. -It is not our wish to s define the points on which our Almanac will base its claims to supersede other local Almanacs, but we feel t confidence in promising that it will find its way into more households and offices, and more nearly attain to the correct ideal of a Provincial " Book " Almanac than anything of the kind that has yet been sub mitted to the public of Auckland. The information contained will be extensive and carefully compiled, and the literary portion of the work will be executed in a manner that will satisfy the most fastidious, while our extensive and varied assort ; ment of new and ornamental type, and the advantages of our steam printing machinery will enable us to produce a volume that for neatness and cheapness is not likely to be equalled in the district. We can therefore confidently recommend this Annual as affording the beat advertising -' mbdiiML '• Although the first year of issue the numerous agencies ' and coirespondents of the Ecenlmj Star will provide a medium for bringing the work immediately into 1 contact with residents in every part of the province and, as far as may be practicable, in other parts of the colony. .0 Mb..
