— THE CORPORATION OF THE SCOTTISH PROVIDENT INSTITUTION ESTABLISHED 1837, The terms of this Society secure, as compared with other Offices, A greatly Larger Original Assurance for the same Premium, with the prospect to good lives, (for whom eajclusively the whole Profits are reserved) of eventually receiving very considerable additions, , Thus, a Policy for £1200 or £1250 can at most ages be had, from the first, for the premium charged elsewhere for £1000 only. Policies for £1000 which have shared at three Septennial Investigations have already been increased to £1400, £1600, and even to £1800. Examples of Annual Premium to secure £100 at Death (with Profits) : Age 25 30 35 40 45 50 Payable during Life £1 18 £2 16 £2 6 10 £2 14 9 £3 5 9 £4 1 7 Limited to 21 Years £2 12 6 £'A 15 4 £3 2 £3 7 5 £3 17 6 £4 12 1 Thus a person of 30 may secure £1000 at death, with Profits, for a yearly premium of £20 15s., which in the other Scottish Mutual Offices would assure £800 only. Or, if unwilling to burden himself with payments during the whole of his life, he may secure a policy for £1000, with prospect of additions from the profits, for a Premium of £27 13s 4d, limited to twenty-one payments, being nearly the same as most Offices require during the whole of life. ^" Tables of Premiums^ to cease after 7, 14, or any other number of years, may be had on application. The New Assurances of last year were £621,574. The subsisting Assurances are now upwards of Six Millions. The Annual Income of 1867 was £234,000. The Accumulated Fund, arising entirely from Premiums, was £1,365,365—all invested in undoubted securities. REPORTS, and every information, may be obtained at the Head Office^ 6 ^S'^.
