TELE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETYJFJHE UN/TED STATES. ASSETS -£18,700,000. The Directors of the above Society, desire to call the attention of all seeking Life Assurance to the combined attacks of Australasian Life offices against THE EQUITABLE, and to the large expenses incurred by these offices in issuing pamphlets anonymous and otherwise, containing untruthful statements intended to damage THE EQUITABLE. These attacks are especially valuable as a test of THE EQUITABLE' B SUCCESS, because they show the envy, not of one, but of &11 its numerous Eivals ; and they stimulate enquiry into the following facts : The Equitable is the Largest Office in the World. The cost of its new Business is less than thatof any other Life ofiice. It has the largest proportion of assets to liabilities. The Bonuses declared on its Tontine system exceed those of all other ofliees. The Premiums charged are lower than those of most offices. Shells semi-Tontine Policy is the best form of life policy yet issued, and its adoption has marvellously increased the new" Business of the Society, which is now being Becured at a rata exceeding Thirty-five millions Sterling yearly. _ All profits belong to the policyholders, and its business is conducted on pureiy mutual principles. Agents required in unrepresented districts, and to travel. For piwpectuFes apply io oh\c>?. 127, Queen-street, Auckland, W. A. THOMSON, Chief Agent,
