THE MUTUAL FIRE

INSURANCE CORPORATION LIMITED

ISSUES

1st - Members' Policies, giving PARTICIPATION in the whole of the profits, which have always been considerable, and during the last three years have averaged, with bonuses, 27 per cent. of the Premiums paid.
This class is eminently advantageous to large insurers.

2nd. - Non-Members' Policies entirely Exempt from Participation in the gains or losses.

The system of liberal deductions from Premiums, where adequate fire extinguishing appliances are kept, originated with the Corporation, and is applicable to all risks.
The lowest rates consistent with security are charged.
No. foreign or colonial business is transacted, whereby the Corporation is freed from participation in the calamitous conflagrations which from time to time occur abroad.
Gross Premium Income, 1878, exceeded £132,000. Guaranteed Fund, £100,000, and Funds in Hand, accumulated out of profits, over £120,000.

The Patriotic Assurance Company of Ireland was founded considerably over half a century ago by a number of local merchants, and its operations are confined to this country alone. Its large capital of £1,500,000 is the property of resident Irish shareholders, and its earnings, as a consequence, obtain circulation and give employment at home.
LIFE DEPARTMENT -  The rates of premium for Life Assurance are the most moderate, consistent with safety. For example : at age 20 (non-participating) an annual premium of £20 10s. 5d. will insure with this Company the sum of £1,250, payable at death - however soon that may happen - while under the mutual tables of twenty companies the same premium would only assure £1,050, and with nineteen other companies the same premium would only assure £1,000. Thus what are equivalent to immediate bonuses of from £200 to £250 may be secured.
ENDOWMENT ASSURANCES - At age 25, an annual premium of £11 16s. 8d. will assure the sum of £500, payable at death - however soon that may happen - with the additional advantage, that should the assured live to 63, the £500 will be paid over to himself.
ENDOWMENTS FOR CHILDREN - are effected, the amount being payable in the event of the life named attaining a certain age - usually 21 - the whole of the premiums paid being returnable, should the child die before that age. For a child aged 2 years next birthday, an annual payment of £4 3s. 10d. will secure £100 on attaining the age of 21; or in the event of death before attaining that age, all the premiums received will be returned.
LOANS - granted on real estate, and on life estate with policy of assurance, at moderate rates of interest. Preliminary agreements free of charge.
FIRE DEPARTMENT -  Insurances against loss by Fire may be effected with this Company on private dwelling houses, and on furniture therein, at the minimum rates of 1s. 6d. and 2s. per cent, including china, glass, musical instruments, prints and other perishable goods.
Insurances on Warehouses, Shops, Merchandize, Mills, and Factories may be effected at current rates.

NOBEL'S DYNAMITE
Is the strongest, safest, and most economical Explosive, for all Mining, Quarrying, and Tunnelling operations ; for Blasting in hard or soft, wet or dry rocks ;  for sinking Shafts and Wells ; for Railway and Road Cuttings ; for Blasting under Water and Deepening Docks, Rivers, Harbours, Canals, etc.; for recovering or clearing away Wrecks ; also for clearing land of Tree Stumps, without having to stub them ; and from Boulder Stones, without the necessity of Boring them.
DYNAMITE possesses many advantages over Gunpowder, and all other explosives for blasting, its use saves much time, labour, and expense ; it is much safer to use, convey and store ; it requires a special Detonating Cap attached to the fuse when blasting to make it explode ; it can be used in water bleeding rocks, and may be tamped with water ; it requires no hard stemming ; fewer and narrower boreholes are necessary, and greater depth is blasted ; Dynamite being a plastic substance, its cartridges may be put into the boreholes with safety, and pressed so as to completely fill up their irregularities, which is absolutely necessary in blasting to obtain the best results.
DYNAMITE is made up in Cartridges, and these are put into 5lb packages, with full instructions attached ; ten packages are enclosed in each box ; price 12s. 6d. per package, or £5 per 50lb. box, delivered free at the local Magazine. Safety Fuse Cord, 4d. and 6d.; Tape Covered Fuse, 7d. and 9d.; and Gutta Percha Fuse, 1s. and 1s. 3d.; all per coil of 24 feet. Detonators, 10d., 1s. 6d. and 2s. 9d. per box, or 25s. per thousand.

LIFE ASSURANCE at COST PRICE
In the National Provident Institution Policy Holders (?) charged only the actual cost of the benefits accruing, the whole profit being (?) property. The outlay to Assurers is, therefore, on the smallest scale possible.
Example - A Person Aged 46, Assured in 1836 for £1000

Thereafter this Policy for £1000 not only cist the holder nothing, but the profits (?) yielded him an income.
He received as Annuity of        1867 to 1872 - £ 10 10s.           1872 to 1877 - £ 24 1s. 6d.            1877 to 1882 - £ 52 4s.
In view of a result so profitable to assurers, the fruit of economic management, and the system on which the Institution has been built ; and in view of the uncertainty individual life, no man able to pay a premium can be justified in preferring to remain unassured.
The Institution has one of the largest Life Funds, amounting to £ 3,800,000
It has realised Profit solely for its Policy Holders, amounting to £ 2,881,732

The Life Association is distinguished by its Special System of Bonus Distribution, and the Freedom and Privileges enjoyed by its Policyholders.
BONUS DISTRIBUTIONS
CLASS A. - In the third Series of this Class, an Ordinary Life Policy is transformed, after a few years, into a Paid-Up Policy for the full Sum Assured with future Bonus Additions, requiring no care and no payments to keep it in force, and carrying the specially High Value and Privileges of such a document.
CLASS B. - The Bonuses in this Class are applied so as to give the largest possible Benefits to those who attain an average time of life. This has resulted in Additions of an amount absolutely Unattainable under Any Other System.
The Fourth Quinquennial Allocation of Profits in this Class will take place as at 5th December, 1880. All previous Entrants will be entitled to share in the Division then to be made.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION - NEW REDUCED RATES OF PREMIUM
The Association is now issuing Life Assurance Policies in Class B., at the following reduced rates of Premium, by which the holder of a £1000 policy saves from £4 to £6 per annum, and participates proportionately in profits.
LIFE POLICIES WITH PROFITS
New Reduced Annual Premiums, for every £100 payable at death.

The Policyholders are entitled to the same liberal conditions and privileges as the Assured at the usual rates in the Association's Class B, as, for instance, to travel and reside in any part of the world without extra payment. They also participate in the Profits on the same principle as the ordinary Policies in that class, the Bonuses being applied so as to give the largest possible benefits to those assured who attain an average time of life.
