We give you good advice when we say to you: "Having once assured in a sound company let no one induce you to drop your policy." Abide by this advice and you will have no reason to regret it; and we would further recommend you to view with marked suspicion any person who seeks to induce you to act contrary to this injunction. Do not disregard or lightly esteem the vast interest you acquire in a life assurance policy the moment you have paid good money for it; an interest that neither you nor your family can ignore; an interest superior to any and every form of surrender value.-Ingleside.

With respect to the companies mentioned in the following list the usual inquiries have been made, but no further information respecting them is forthcoming than that given below. The particulars contained in the last two columns have, in most instances, been obtained by search at the companies' registration office. The law requires that every company shall, once a year, make a return to the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies of the shareholders, with a summary of the capital and shares. It will be observed that several of the companies in the list are considerably in arrear in this respect, and they are, consequently, liable to penalties for non-compliance with the law. It is well known that negligence to comply with legal requirements generally goes hand in hand with want of capital, reckless and fraudulent trading, and extravagance in management. It will be well, therefore, for persons invited to transact business with any of the following offices, before paying a premium, to make inquiry, and to satisfy themselves that such offices are worthy of confidence.-Post-Magazine Almanack.
