It seems necessary to remind intending assurers that it is a duty they owe to themselves to see that I Engagements, which are to last a lifetime, ought I to be contracted only with companies of whose ! efficiency and permanency there can be no doubt. The large funds and resources of the Liverpool and London and Globe Company, and their steady and rapid growth, point out this Company as one of the most eligible of Life Offices. There are three points to which special attention should be given by intending assurers, and they are — the degree of Sectteity afforded, the kind of Reputation enjoyed, and the comparative Advantages or Economy of the system of business. The directors believe that in all these respects the Liverpool and London and Globe will bear comparison with any of its competitors, and invite those desirous of making a provision for their families by Life Assurance to peruse this company's detailed prospectU3, which may be had of any of the company's agents.
