Be careful that you select this . Society, and do not be misled by , the similarity of name of some ! of the other younger Australian j Offices. ■j The Society can be considered quite as much 5 a New Zealand as an Australian institution, seeing that all moneys received in. the colony are invested here in advances on mortgage of first-class freehold securities, loans to members on the security of their policies, Government debentures, and freehold branch office pte- . mises ; and the Society is thus assisting in developing the resources of the colony. THE SOCIETY HAS ASSETS IN NEW 5 ZEALAND SECURITIES Amounting to £986,000 ! No otseb Life Office in the Colony Can give yon.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. If you are already sufficiently osnuied yourself, induce your friends to follow your example.
