The Premiums, nevertheless, are on the most moderate scale, and only one-half need be paid for the first five years, when the Insurance is for Life. Every information will be afforded on application to the Resident Director. * * * * * HEAL & SON'S ILLUSTRATED CATALOGUE OF BEDSTEADS, sent free by post.
