New Business. The new business of the last five years has exceeded two millions per annum—A larger amount annually than has ever been transacted by any other Life Office in the British Dominions. The cost of management, including commission, is unusually low, being only 11J per cent, of the total receipts of the year. This rate of expenditure is less than any other Life Assurance Institution either in Europe or America, doing a corresponding amount of new business. Unparalleled Accumulation of Funds. The accumulated funds now exceed FIVE MILLIONS AND A HALF STERLING, Assure your Life in tbe AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY. AND SECURE AN ANNUAL BONUS OR DIVIDEND, A Privilege which no other Life Office in the colony can grant its members. Be careful that you select this Society, and do not be misled by the similarity of name of some of tbe ether younger Australian Offices. The Society can be considered quite as much a New Zealand as an Australian institution, seeing that all moneys received In tbe colony are invested here in advances on mortgage of first-class freehold securities, loans to members on tbe security of tbeir 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 EIGHT HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND POUNDS 1 No other Life Office in the Colony Can give you such LARGE BONUSES as THE AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY, And tbe effect of an Annual Bonus, which can bo taken in Cash, will be to reduce the cost of assurance to the lowest possible minimum. If you are already sufficiently assmed yourself, induce your friends to folio w your example. N.B.—The Security afforded by this Society to its policy-holders is unsurpassed by that of any Life Office in the world. The Society has raised its limit on a single first-class life to £IO,OOO Prospectuses, forms of proposal, and the last QuioqDeonial Report, and all other information, may be obtained on application to the Resident Secretary, Wellington, or from any o! the Society’s agents.
