SURER: 1 itrance Fee, 2i. 6d. ; Id. The early expiration of the Ontario Building Society (established 20th March, 1850) and the consequent inability to receive new members either as inverters or borrowers, has induced many of the Sharelioldera of the Society to associate for the cstablislimcnt of a Society to succeed the one about so successfully to tcrmi- nate. In establishing this society its projectors have availed themselves of several important improvements, in its mode of operation, which experience has shown to be safe, and conducive to the mutual advantage and convenience of members. From a number of systems, on which Building So- cieties arc conducted, the best features have been se- lected and embodied in a form, which by the simplicity of its operations, and the certainty of its results, cannot fail to be generally acceptable, as follows : — I. New members may join this Society at any time without being called on to pay any arrears or premium. II. A Shareholder is required to pay 168. 8d. per share monthly. His subscription or payments commencing from the time of his entrance and continuing until the 1st day of March A. D. 1864, wlien he will be entitled to receive the amount paid in, with the accumulated profits, from the time he became a Shareholder. III. A payment, at the time of entering, of a certain sum, agreed upon by the Directors, shall entitle a mem- ber to the full amount of his share with the profits accru- ing at the expiration of the time specified. m J equal numW of montl-a' credit .•i.hout'bofng au£t to V.

No member can be called on, under any circum- stances, to pay for a longer time, than what he chooses for himself wlien entering. TO DEPOSITORS This Society offers all the advantages of the Savings* Bank, together with a higher rate of interest and more accommodating terms than those institutions are able to allow. The whole capital of the Society is pledged for the security of money received on a deposit, and being all loaned on real estate, no safer guarantee can possibly be given or required. Although the difficulty of readily finding safe and pro- fitable investments is much less among a young and progressive people than in older and wealthier com- munities, still it is well known that very considerable amounts, in the aggregate, are scattered unproductive throughout the country, in sums of from £5 to iSlOO, when, through the medium of Societies such as this, the owners might be largely benefitted themselves, and pro- mote the enterprising industry of others, by bringing within their reach the capital necessary for its prosecu- tion. Among the agricultural population of the Province especially, has this unwise plan of simply hoarding been followed, principally from the fact of their being less accustomed to business operations, and, therefore, less competent to successfully employ their surplus means, t 6 worthy of ♦r *"" «7"* "' '"'"totio-".
