Thus—suppose a man of thirty to pay £ 50 a-year for twenty years , making together £ 1 , 000 , and then to become unable longer to pay this amount , he would be entitled to such an immediate annuity for life as £ 1 , 000 would have purchased him at the age he originally assured—viz ., £ 56 12 s . 6 d . annually . . A certain return to the assured of at least one-third of all premiums received . Six months are allowed beyond the days of grace for the payment of all premiums , on depositing the policy with the Society .

The Investment of Money with this Association secures equal advantages to the Savings of the Provident , and the Capital of the Affluent , and affords to both the means of realising the highest rate of Interest yielded by first-class securities , in which alone the Funds are employed . The constant demand for advances upon securities of that peculiar class , which are offered almost exclusively to Life Assurance Companies , such as Reversions , Life Interests , &c , enables the Board of Management to employ Capital on more advantageous terms and at higher rates of Interest than could otherwise , with equal safety , be obtained . The present rate of Interest is Jive per cent , per annum , and this rate will continue to be paid so long as the Assurance department finds the same safe and profitable employment for money . Interest payable half-yearly in January and July . Money intended for Investment is received daily between the hours of 10 and 4 o'clock , at the Offices of the Association . Immediate Annuities granted , and . the business of Life Assurance in all its branches , transacted , on highly advantageous terms . Rates , Prospectuses , and Forms of Proposal , with every requisite information , may be obtained on application at the offices of the Association , or to the respective Agents throughout the United Kingdom .
