Prospectuses and every information can be obtained from ._. _..: THQMAS BBODRICK, Agent for Southland : LIFE ASSURANCE. , It seems necessary to remind intending assurers that it is a duty they owe to themselves to see that Engagements, which are to la9t a lifetime, ought to be contracted only with companies ; of whose' efficiency and permanency there can be, no doubt. The large funds and resources of the Livebpooli ahd London and Giobb Gompany/ 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 SSgubity afforded, ! the land of Refutation 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 ajprovisjon for their families by Life Assurance to peruse this company's detailed prospectus, which may be had of any of the company's agents.
