FOR MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE &c. WITHOUT PERSONAL LIABILITY. Principul Office: New Pitt street, Sydney. THE AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY Is a purely Mutual Life Office, local to Australia, and New Zealand, not confined to one Colony, but common to all ; local to each colony but not restricted to any, and, operating on a broader busis, is therefore safer than an office confined within narrow limits. Is a Life Office having a large uuraber of policy holders iv New Zealand, and investing its revenues from that placoin the public securi ties of the country. Tho assets of tho Society comprise New Zealand Debentures to the value of £64,000. Was established in 1849, and it has successfully passed through the ordeuls to which all new Life Offices ore exposed. Having completed tho twenty-first year of its existonco, it has achievod a position of stabilityand affluence unexampled in the history of Life Offices. Its accumulated and Invested Fund exceeds £700,000. Its incomo is over ... £200,000 a year. THE PROFITS BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO ITS MEMBERS. From tho magnitude of its resourcos it is enabled to declare. LARGE BONUSES. The sources of profit are increased by the high rate of interest obtained on the investod funds alßoby tho difference between the margin provided for expenses and the low rate of expnditure actually incurred by tho Society an ad vantage incidental to a largo business, noitherof which can exist in a now office. Tho annual revenue was inoreaeod by £32,236 from new assurances offeoted in the paßt year, a rate of progress which entitles it to rank with tho first class Life Assurance institutions of tho United Kingdom.
