Assure your life in the AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY, and secure an ANNUAL BONUSorDIVTDEND, 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 insti. tution, 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 l‘Y, 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. 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.

The price of these photograph ia the same as onr other views, viz., 15s dozen, and will be sent post-paid to any address immediately on receipt of money.
