Spring Garden Mutual Insurance
'Company.
THIS Company having organized according to the
provisions of tts chance', is now prepared to make
Insurances against loss by Foie on the mutual principle,
combined with the. Pectirity of a joint stock capital.—
The advantage of this system is, that efficient security
is afforded at the lowest rates that the business can be
,dune for, as the whole profits (less an interest not to
exceed 0 per cent. per annum nn the capital) will be re
turned to Me-meentievs of the institution, without their
becoming ,responsible for any °Me engagements or li
abilities of the Company, furtherthan thepremiums at
.
tually Paid.
The great success which this system has met with
wherever it has been introdurcd,'lnduces the Directors
to reheat the - attention of: the public to P. confident
Matti, requireg.but to be and rstriod to lie appreciated..
