Result of the Thirty -ninLh Year (1888). After making unusually ample reserves, the Cash Surplus was Jtluo,So3, a larger amount of profit than ha" evor been realised or divided in onr year by any other oflico in tho British Empire.

New Business. The new business of the last five years has on an average exoeeded -£3,000,000 per annum — A larger amount annually than has evor been transacted by any othor Life Office in tho British Dominions, Tho cost of management, including commission, is unusually low, being only 8.8 per cent, oi the total receipts of tho yoar.

The accumulated funds now exceed £8,169/310 Assure your Life in the AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY, AND SECURE AN ANNUAL BONUS OR DIVIDEND A Privilege which no othbr Colonial Life Office can trrant its mombers. Be Careful that toe Select this Society, and do not be Misled by the Similarity of Name ov some of the other Younger Australian Offices. The Sooiety can be considerod quite as much a New Zealand as an Australian institution, seeing that all moneys received in the colony are invested horo in advances on mortgage of first-clasn freehold securities, loans to members on tho security of thoir policies, i>» vernment debentures, and freehold branch oflico promises ; and tho Society is thus assisting in developing the resources of the colon v THE SOCIETY'S ASSETS IN NEW ZEALAND SECURITIES £1,163,813 No Othbb Life Office in the Colont can give yon such LARGE BONUSES AS THE I AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY And the effect of an Annual Bonus, which can be taken in Cash, will be to reduce the cost of assuranoe to the lowest possible minimum. If you are already sufficiently assured yourself, induce your friends to follow yonr example. The Society has raised its limitoaaßingle first-olass life to .£IO,OOO. Prospeotuses, forms of proposal, the last Annual Report, and all other infor- ' motion, may be obtained on application to the Resident Secretary, Wellington, or from any of the Society's agents. \ ] N.B.— The Security afforded by this Society to its policvholders is unsurpassed by that of any Life Office in the world.
