PWKOIPAI OFMOa: NbVT PWT-BWIMT, StDNir.

I &jThi Australian Mutual Provident Society Ii a purely Mutual Life Office, Local to -Australia and New Zealand, not confined to one Colony, but common to all: Local to each Colony, but not restricted to any, and operating upon a broader basis ; is therefore Safer than an Office confined within narrow limits. Is a Life Office having a large number of Policyholders in New Zealand, and investing its Revenues from that place in the Public Securities of the country. The Asiets of the Society comprise New Zealand Debentures to the value of £64,000. Was Established in 1849, «nd it has successfully passed through the ordeals to which all new Life Offices are exposed. Having completed the Twentyfirst Year of its existence, it has achieved a position of Stability and Affluence unexampled in the history of Life Offices. Its Accumulated and Invested Fund exceeds £700,000. Its Income is over .. .. £200,000 a-year. THE PROFITS BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO ITS MEMBERS.

From the magnitude of its resources it is enabled to declare LARGE BONUSES.

The Sources of Profit are increased by the high rate of Interest obtained on the Invested Funds, also by the difference between the margin provided for Expentes, and the low rate of Expenditure actually incurred by the Sooiety, an advantage incidental to a large Business, NMTIIER OF WHICH CAN EXIST IN A NEW OFFICE The Annual Revenue was increased by £32,236 from New Assurances effected in the past year, a rate of progress which entitles it to rank with the First- slasa Life Assurance Institutions of the United Kingdom.
