reduction and ultimate extinction of future premiums.

£1,500 may be insured for the present outlay otherwise required for £1,000.

The Directors will lend sums of £50 and upwards, on the security of policies effected
with this Company for the whole term of life, when they have acquired an adequate

the risk incurred by members of mutual societies.
