GOERVNMENT ANNUITY
AND
INSURANCE FUND.
PsorosALS for Life Insurance , or for the purchase of Annui-
ties, or Monthly Allowances , can be received at any branch
office of the Government Savings Bank, where all information
can be obtained.
By a very moderate outlay, any person may now make pro-
vision, by Insurance , for his widow and children after his
death ; or by the purchase of a Government Annuity , may pro-
vide for his wife and family, or for himself, in old age.
Thus a man, aged 25, may insure the sum of £50 at his death-
By the payment of Two Shillings monthly during his life ;
Or, Eleven Shillings and Sixpence half-yearly;
Or, Six Shillings quarterly.
Or, he may insure £100 at death by double the above payments.
Annuities or Monthly Allowances may, in the same way, be
purchased by or for any person above the age of ten years.
Thus, a man aged 30 may purchase an Annuity of £20, to be
paid to him from the age of 55 until his death, by a yearly
payment of £4 15s.
Or, he may secure a Monthly Allowance of £2 9s. 5d., equal
to 229 13s. a year-to commence at 60-by payment of eight
shillings a month.
