After a thorough investigation of the different systems adopted 
in Europe and America, and of the rates of premium charged, 
this company have reduced the premium 25 per cent, payable 
in cash, annually, semi-annually, or quarterly, as may be pre 
ferred, under a firm conviction that the exigencies of the Com 
pany will never exceed and seldom require one half of the an 
nual premium now charged by the English and American Com 
panies, which reduction will still leave a large margin forseasons 
of unusual sickness and death among its members preferring to 
reduce the premiums at once to an amount more nearly appioxi- 
mating the actual necessities of the Company than to adopt the 
system of premium notes which is attended with many disadvan¬ 
tages. 
The leading features of this Company are— 
1. A guarantee capital of $50,000, which together with the ac¬ 
cumulating pBemiums is deemed adequate to meet every contin- 
gC 2. C A reduction in the rates of premiums—payable annually 
semi-annually, or quarterly, as may be preferred. 
3 The assured participate annually in the profits. 
4 Insurance may be effected by any married woman upon the 
life of her husband, for her sole use and benefit, free from any 
claims of the representatives of her husband, or any of his credi 
t0 5.‘ No personal liability of the members beyond the amount of 
their annual premium of insurance. . . 
6. Creditors may insure the lives of their debtors, or debtois 
themselves may insure for the protection of their creditors. 
A prospectus has been issued (which can be had at the office 
of the Company, or any of its agents), explanatory of the terms 
and conditions of insurance.
