Item HT 39192 Leaflet- 'Is Your Children's Future Provided For?', Australian Mutual Provident Society, Sydney, 31 May 1937

Summary

Alternative Name(s): Brochure

Folded pamphlet advertising Australian Mutual Provident Society 'life assurance', and including 'Table R' - a '20-Year Monthly Premium Policy for Children'. It refers to its products as 'Industrial Policies'. The monthly premium is five shillings. Refunds are available if the child, who would otherwise be the beneficiary of the policy, dies. The term 'assurance' indicates that the policy is for an event which will certainly happen, as opposed to an event that might happen, such as an early death (which is covered by insurance). The policy will be paid out when the concluding event, such as death or adulthood, occurs.

Donated to Museum Victoria with a collection of material reflecting the economic life of the donor's parents, who lived in suburban East Malvern, in south-east Melbourne.
