The new business of the last five years has exceeded on an average £3,000,000 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 8.8 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. Unparellelbd Accumulation of Funds. —The Accumulated Funds now exceed £8,169,310Assure'your life in the AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY, and secure an ANNUAL BONUS orDI YTDEND, A Privilege which no other Colonial Life Office can grant its Members, Be careful that you select this Society and do not be misled by the similarity of name of some of the other 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 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. THE SOCIETY H ASSETS IN NEW ZEALAND SECURITIES Amounting to £1,163,8131 No 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. If you are already sufficiently assured yourself, induce your friends to follow 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. Tbe Society has raised its limit on a single first*class life to £IO,OOO. Prospectuses, Forms of'Proposal, and the last Annual Report, and all other informs, tion may be obtained on application to the Resident Secretary, Wellington, or from any pf the Society’s Agents.
