Privilege which no other Life Office in the colony can grant its members. Be careful that you select th;s Society, and do not be misled by the similarity of name of some other assurance office. The Society can be considered quite as much a New Zealand as an Australian institution, seeing that all moneys received in the colony are Invested here in advances on mortgage of first-clafrs freehold securities, loans to members on the 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 EXCEEDING FIVE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY THOUSAND POUNDS I Ko other Life Office in the Colony Can give you such LARGE 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.
