Assure your Life in the ATTSTRATtaut MUTUAL PrIOVIDENT s? cure an ANNUAL BONUS or DIVIDEND"a privilege which no other Colonial Life Office can grant ita members. Be careful that you select thia Society, and do not be misled by the simUariryof name of some of the other younger Australian Offices. This Society can be considered quite as much a NewZe*land as an Australian institution, seeing that all moneys received in the colosy are invested here in advance on mortgage on first-class freehold securities, loans to members onjthe security of their policies, Government debentures, and freehold branch office premises ; and the Society is thus assisting in developing the resources of the colony. THE SOCIETY HAS~ASSETS IN NEW ZEALAND SECURITIES AMOUNTING TO £1,06^742. No other Life Office in the colony can give you such LARGB BONUSES as the AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY, and the effect of an Annual Bonus, which can be taken in Cash, will be to reduce the cost of assurance to the lowest possible minimum. IX you are already sufficiently assured yourself, induce your friends to follow your example. =■ *» N.B.—The security afforded by this Bodety to Its policy holders is unsurpassed by that of any Life Office in the world.
