I. PERFECT SECURITY.—The large invested Capital, and the personal
responsibility, of upwards of One Thousand Shareholders, render the
security undoubted.
II. MODERATE PREMIUMS OF ASSURANCE.—The Rates for Life Assurance will be
found generally reasonable; and, for the younger Ages, lower than those
in use in many of the older and most respectable Offices.
The Premiums for Assurance on FIRE are the same as those which are
demanded by the first class of Assurance Companies.
III. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS BY THE ASSURED, BOTH IN LIFE AND FIRE.—The
Profits, appropriated to the participating Assured, are applied, every
Five Years, to the increase of the amounts assured, or to the reduction
of the future Premiums, according to the choice of the Assured.
The PROFITS of the FIRE Department appropriated to the Assured, are
distributed at the close of each successive period of Five years, in the
form of a per-centage on the Premiums which have been paid.
IV. Parties who obtain the settlement of Losses from Fire are not
thereby deprived of their right to participate in the Profits of the
Company.
V. Losses by Lightning are made good.
VI. The Company are liable for losses by EXPLOSION, unless such
explosion should be occasioned by gunpowder deposited on the premises, or
except in cases specially provided for in the Policy.
The Directors grant Loans on the sole security of the Company’s Policies,
if unencumbered, to nearly the full extent of their value, provided such
value will justify an advance of not less than £50.
The Cost of the Stamps upon Life Policies is borne by the Company.
Life Committees are held at the Office every Wednesday and Friday at one
o’clock; but to facilitate transactions, appearances can be taken, when
requisite, on any other day.
MR. J. JONES, Westminster Buildings, Newgate Street, Chester,
