WRITING GRAINING, &c. OF EVERY DESCRIPTION.

Invite the attention of Agriculturists, Shippers, Contractors, and others, to their
PATENT SELF-ACTING CIRCULAR SAW BENCHES.

These Benches are fitted with a New Apparatus for drawing timber to and from the Saw, so simple that it can be managed and the speed instantly regulated.  They are also fitted with a draft chain, perfectly free in the delivery, which can only draw parallel to the saw.  They are adapted to cut any description of wood; rough timber merely requiring to have each end chipped with an axe, to give it a steady bearing on the table and carriage.  The carriages are fitted with a lever roll, to enable the man who works the bench to raise the timber on the carriages to carry it beyond the saw; they are also fitted with an improved gauge, to cut either parallel or feather edge boards; for deal cutting a spring roll is sent to press the deals against the gauge, so that a true cut is obtained, however uneven the surface and with as little waste as the common pit saw.

Any of these benches may be worked by power from 4-horse upwards, as the speed for bringing the timber to and from the saw is regulated according to the power used, they are also fitted with a lever so as to stop or reverse the motion of the timber instantaneously (a necessary precaution in case of accident); they are suitable for cutting timber on estates, for timber merchants, contractors, or builders’ purposes, as timber of any length and depth, according to the diameter of the saw, may be cut perfectly true.  (See next Page.)

This Society has been established Fifty-one Years, during which period it has issued 31,500 Policies, and paid to the representatives of 6617 deceased members £5,448,264 sterling.

To meet existing engagements, the Society possesses funds amounting to upwards of Two Million Pounds sterling, almost wholly invested on Real and Government Securities.

The Rates of Premium are lower than those of some offices by nearly 10 per cent., a benefit in itself equivalent to an Annual Bonus.

There is no Proprietary to divide with the Assured the profits of this Institution, which is one of the very few purely Mutual Insurance Offices.  Persons, therefore, now effecting Insurances will receive the full benefit of the system, and will be entitled to participate in the large reserves of the Society, which are applicable for future Bonuses.

One-half of the first five Annual Premiums may remain as a permanent charge upon the Policies granted for the whole duration of life.

NO CHARGE IS MADE FOR POLICY STAMPS.
