The Society can be considered quite aa much a New Zealand as an Australian institution, seeing that' all moneys received in the colony are invested here In advance on mortgage on first-class 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.

If you are already sufficiently assured yourself, induce your friends to follow your example. <r' N.B,—The security afforded by this Society to its policy-holders is UNSURPASSED by that of any Life Office in the world.
