A. M. P. SOCIETY The Largest Mutual Life Office in the British Empire Established, Sydney, 1 849 Ten Years after New Zealand was declared a British Colony The Funds After the First Year’s Operations Amounted to £265-8-1 They Now Stand at the Enormous Figure of £120,000,000 Achieved after a Period of Ninety Years. Every Penny of this Huge Sum Belongs Entirely to the Members, and is Invested throughout the British Empire There are no Shareholders or Foreign Securities The Society has advanced £20,000,000 for the Development of New Zealand and holds over 40 Per Cent, of the Total Life Assurance business in force in New Zealand The Society’s Motto is. “A Certain Friend, in Uncertain Times'' Dr. Lyman Abbott, in a few words, emphasises the need for adequate life assurance:“One could easily bear to be poor; poverty for one’s self is no great ill, and wealth for one’s self is no great blessing, oftener a curse. One could even bear to take his wife and children down with him into poverty, so long as he could be with them to help them carry the load, and carry the heaviest part himself. But to go off to his own eternal rest and to leave them to go down into poverty, and to fight the Wolf from the door—to leave the boys who have been at school or college to abandon hope of education; and the daughters who have been reared in comfort to become teachers, or governesses, or seamstresses; and the wife, who has been fed and housed and clothed, to feed and house and clothe not only herself but perhaps her little children, and to be removed from all possibility of giving help or even comfort to the forlorn wife in such a battle—what prospect more terrible than this to look forward to? Every man is bound by the highest consideration of prudence and hohotir to guard those who have entrusted their destiny in his hands against such a contingency.” The A.M.P. has the solution to this great problem The Society has an Office, Manager and Staff in Timaru to give first hand information whenever this is required.
