FOX MUTUAL LIFE INSURANCE &c. WITHOUT PERSONAL LIABILITY/. Principal 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 basis, is therefore safer than an office confined within narrow limits. la a Life Office having a large number of policy holders in New Zealand, and investing its revenues from that placein tho public securi ties of the country. The assets of the Society comprise New Zealand Debentures to the value of £64,000. Was established in 1849, and it has successfully passed through the ordeals to which all aew Life Offices are exposed. Having completed the twenty-first year of its existence, it has achieved a position of sfcabilityand affluence unexampled in the history of Lite Offices. Its accumulated and Invested Fund exceeds £700.000. Its income is over ... £200,000 a yenr. THE PROFITS BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO ITS MEMBERS. From the magnitude of its resources it is enabled to declare. LARGE BONUSES. The sources of profit are increased by the high rate of interest obtained on the invested funds also by the difference betweon the margin provided for expenses and the low rato of expndifcure actually incurred by the Society an ad vantage incidental to a large business, neitherof which can exist in a new office. The annual revenue was increased by £32,236 from new assurances effected in the past year, a rato of progress which entitles it to rank with the first olassLife Assurance institutions of the United Kingdom. Forms of proposal and every information, may bo obtained on application to VENNELL, MILLS & CO., Agents.
