BIG INSURANCE MERGER. ACQUISITIONS BY A.P.A. The Australian Provincial Assurance Association, Ltd., which recently purchased the Co-operative Assurance Coy's business yielding some £40,000 a year in life and personal accident business; has now completed the purchase of the Life Insurance Coy of Australia's Life and Personal Accident business producing approximately £140,000 yearly.

The giant strides made by this vigorous and progressive institution have been made the subject of much favourable comment. The record of the Australian Provincial Assurance Association, Ltd., stands out most prominently as one of the marvels of modern insurance. Its potentialities, judged by its vigorous growth, will compel older companies to look to their laurels, if this well-known company is not to surpass them in the vigour of its growth and its hold on the confidence of the public.—Advt.
