MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE. 



THE SCOTTISH PROVIDENT 

 INSTITUTION combines the advantage 

 of Participation in the whole Profits with mo- 

 derate Premiums. 



The premium s are as low as those of the non- 

 participating scale of the proprietary compa- 

 nies. Tliey admit of Ijeing so not only with 

 safety, but with ample reversi'n of profits to 

 the policy-holders, being free from the burden 

 of payment of I'ividend to shareholders. 



At the first divi-ion of surplus in the present 

 year, bonus additions were mnde to policies 

 which had come within the participating class, 

 varying from 20 to 54 percent, on their amount. 



In all points of practice- as in the provision 

 for the indefea>ihility of ^lolicies, facility of li- 

 cence for travelling or residence abroad, and of 

 obtaining advances on the value of the policies 

 — the regulations of the Society, as well as the 

 administration, are as liberal as is consistent 

 with I iglit principle. 



Policies are now issueil free of stamp duty. 



Copies of the lust annual report, containing 

 full explanations of the principles, may be had 

 on application to tlit- Heaii Office in !• din- 

 burgh ; of the Socit ty's Provincial Agents ; or 

 of the Ketiident Secretary, London Branch.
