OLD BROAD STREET, LONDON. Instituted 1820. ---- SAMUEL HIBBERT, ESQ., _Chairman_. WILLIAM R. ROBINSON, ESQ., _Deputy-Chairman_. ---- The SCALE OF PREMIUMS adopted by this Office will be found of a very moderate character, but at the same time quite adequate to the risk incurred. FOUR-FIFTHS, or 80 per cent. of the Profits, are assigned to Policies _every fifth year_, and may be applied to increase the sum insured, to an immediate payment in cash, or to the reduction and ultimate extinction of future Premiums. ONE-THIRD of the Premium on Insurances of 500l. and upwards, for the whole term of life, may remain as a debt upon the Policy, to be paid off at convenience; or the Directors will lend sums of 50l. and upwards, on the security of Policies effected with this Company for the whole term of life, when they have acquired an adequate value. SECURITY.--Those who effect Insurances with this Company are protected by its Subscribed Capital of 750,000l., of which nearly 140,000l. is invested, from the risk incurred by Members of Mutual Societies. The satisfactory financial condition of the Company, exclusive of the Subscribed and Invested Capital, will be seen by the following Statement: On the 31st October, 1853, the sums Assured, including Bonus added, amounted to £2,500,000 The Premium Fund to more than 800,000 And the Annual Income from the same source, to 109,000 Insurances, without participation in Profits, may be effected at reduced rates.
