The Board of Directors beg to congratulate all connected with the institution on the satisfactory results common * cated in the annual report submitted at the general meeting . The standard has now been established for upwanfc of 88 years , it has attained its present high position m the assurance world by the soundness of its principles and the liberality of its practiee , and it has lecTthtrwas for some years in all those important changes which have tended to render a policy of assprance a safe and reliable security under all circumstances . The Directors claim support , then , in the first place , for sound principles oi management and liberality of dealing , but . in the second placeT they claim for the Standard a no less prominent position with reference to the benefits it confers on assurers in connexion with the profits realized in the course of the business , and which are at least commensurate witn those afforded by the most successful institutions of the day . WILI / . THOS . THOMSON , Manager . H . JONES WILLIAMS , Bes . Secretary . London , 82 , King William-street . SPECIAI . NOTICE- . The Board of Directors , with reference to a late decision in the Court of Common Pleas in England , request atteation to the fidlogftg SSgfi & ggSffig , } ' " * ° A . policy of five years * standing on the books cannot te forfeited unless the annual renewal premium remains tulpaid for 13 months . SO days is the regular period allowed for payment , but the arrears can be paid at any time within IS months from the date when the premium fell due on payment of a fine , without a medical certificate . Should death , take place withm the 30 days or 33 month's , the Company hold themselves liable , on payment of the arrear and fine ,, whether before or after death . After the expiry of the IS . months the policy is forfeited , but the surrender value is held at tho disposal of the parties interested for five years , from the regular date of renewal . These regulations apply to all policies of five years' standing , with certain exceptionsmentioned in the Company ' s prospectus . The privileges of . renewal under policies of shorter duration than five years , are very liberal , and the following clause in the Company ' a policy applies to them : — " In case any person assured , shall die within the space of 80 days , and the party holding the policy from the Company , or the heirs , executors or assignees of the assured , or any other person on his or their bepalf , shall pay the pvemuun duo thereon before the expiration of such 30 days , the policy will be as valid and effectual as if the premium had been paid when due and in the lifetime of the person % saurfid .
