Be Caheful that tou Select tuxb socibtt, and do not be misled bt the similarity of name of Borne of the othee Younger Australian Offices. The Sooiety oan be considered quite as much a New Zealand as an Australian institution, seeing that all moneys received in the colony are invested here in advanoes on mortgage of first-class freehold securities, loans to members on tho security of their polioies, l*i vernment debentures, and freehold branch office premises; and the Society is thus assisting in developing the resources of the colony. THE SOCIETY'S ASSETS IN NEW ZEALAND SECURITIES EXCEED £1,064,740 No Othbb Life Office in th« Colony can give you such LARGE BONUSES AS THK 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. If you are already sufficiently assured yourself, induce your friends to follow your example. The Society has raised its limit on a single first-class life to £10,000. Prospectuses, forms of proposal, the last Annual Report, and all other information, may be obtained on application to the Resident Secretary, Wellington, or from any of the Society's agents.
