MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE. 



THE SCOTTISH PROVIDENT 

 INSTITUTION combines the advantage 

 of Participation in the whole Profits with mo- 

 derate Premiums. 



Tlie premiums are as low as those of tlie non- 

 participating scale of the propriefary compa- 

 nies. They admit of being so not only with 

 safety, but with ample reversion of profits to 

 the policy-holders, being free from the burden 

 of payment of 'lividend to shareholders. 



At the first divi>ion of surplus in the present 

 yenr, bonus additions were mode to nolicies 

 which had come within the participating class, 

 varying from 20 to .'54 per cent, on their amount. 



In all points of practice — as in the provision 

 for the indefeasibility of policies, facility of li- 

 cence for travelling or residence abroad, and of 

 obtaining advances o-i the value of the policits 

 — the regulations of the Soc ety, as well as the 

 administration, are as liberal as is consistent 

 with right principle. 



Policies are now issued free of stamp duty. 



Copies of the last annual report, containing 

 full explanations of the principles, may be had 

 on applica'ion to th*- Head Office in Kdin- 

 bnrgh ; of the Society's Provincial Agents ; or 

 of the Resident Secretary, London Branch.

 having carefully examined the Royal Piano- 

 fortes manufaciu'ed by MESSRS. D'AL- 

 M AINE (ft CO., have arreat pleasure in hearing 

 testimony to their merits and capabilities. It 

 appears to us impossible to produce instruments 

 of the same size possessing a r cher and finer 

 tone, more elastic touch, or more equal tem- 

 perament, while the eieaance of their construc- 

 tion renders them a handsome ornament for 

 the library, '>oudoir,iirdrawing-room. (Signed)
