RATES 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 haying 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 eleoting to insure in this Society they also avail themselves of the experience and safety of a-concert that time has proved to be secure against all chances. . ■• ■' .■ .iuoj -: LOANS.- lid ■ [is .-■,.■.'.• ' • Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans granted on security op same. .FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globo in properly decked vessels, and in time of peace.' ;" ■'■ PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS.

Without reflecting on any previous productionsjn fthis special field of ljte-aturej we believe that we&an "produce "a work that will meet the wants of.|t]ie residents in the city and province to an extent not yet attained by any local Almanac.. , It.is no t our, wislj, to ■define the' points !un" "which our.Almanac will" base its claims to supersede other local Almanacs, but we feel confidence in promising that it wißhnd; itg-wayinto more households and otfices, 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 satisfjSEhe '.mpst f astidiou^, -while our extensive, and .varied asspxt • merit of hew and ornamental type, fwid the advantages of bur steam printing machinery will enable 1! hV*-{o produce'a voiiuhe that*for neatness' and 'cheaphesjns not likely to be equalled in the district. \ :'' ""'J- !T We can therefore confidently *: recommend:.
