Assure your life in the AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY, and secure an ANNUAL BONUSor DIVIDEND, 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 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. THE SOCIETY HAS ASSETS IN NEW ZEALAND SECURITIES Amounting to £1,163,813 I No other Life Office in the Colony can give you such LARGE BONUSES as the AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIE £Y, and the effect of an Anneal 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 aeonrity 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 Annual Report, and all other information may be obtained on application to the Resident Secretary, Wellington, or from any of the Society’s Agents.

VIEWS OF MOUNT COOK AND GREAT TASMAN GLACIERS,—A special feature of onr collection of views is the set of photographs of Mount Cook and the Glaciers of the Tasman, Hooker, and Mueller. Many of these photographs were obtained at great personal risk during a fort, night’s camping out on the great Tasman Glacier, a region only explored previously by three parties, viz,, Sealey, Rev W. V. Green and guides, and Dr von Lendenfeld, and are beautiful pictures for sending to friends as representing the gigantic snowtields of these parts. The price of these photograph Is the same as our other views, viz., 15i dozen, and will be sent post-paid to any address immediately on receipt of money. A panorama of five plates, joined to roll u? for posting, showing the whole sweep oi Tasman Glacier, 16 miles long, with Mount Cook Range, 12s. —E.
