LIFE INSURANCE. MEEP HENDERSON, LC.S. Retired, of 12, Leinster Gardens, London, W. %. wishes to remind the readers of this paper that his advice is available, now, as for the last sixteen years, to all those of known position who agree to his conditions.
The war, which has altilessly exposed the weaknesses of many Insurance Offices, haa triumphantly vindicated the soundness of Mr. Henderson's advice.
Out of thirty British Offices, whose valun-
tions took place during 1910, only us maintained their pre-war bonus rate:included amongst these five are the two Offices most frequently recommended by Me. HENDERSON, and, moreover, the bonuses declared by these two Offices are respectively the highest and second highest of the whole thirty. Moreover of neither of these Offices bes the bonus rate ever once receded throughout their long. and history nos they were established in 1836
and 1826 respectively.
