OROGRESS of the UNITY GENERAL < j JL ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION . ^ CHIEF OFFICES , e Unity-buildings , 8 and 10 , Cannon-street , City . * WEST ESSTD OFFICES , c 1 , New Coventry-street , Leicester-square . e It is with feelings of peculiar satisfaction the DIRECTORS ° of the UNITY GENEKA . L ASSURANCE ASSOCIATION submit the following statements respecting its progress and business during the year 1855 , commencing 1 st January , and en ling 3 l 8 t December last . It will be observed tlie amount of new business transacted during that period produces annual premiums exceeding £ 12 . 390 . This is a very large result indeed , judged by the average amount of new business effected by other life offices , which varies ¦> from £ 3 , 000 to £ 5 , 000 per annum . 0 There is but one sure test by which the progress and soundness of a life assurance institution can be judged practically —viz ., the amount of new busine-ts it secures . No other teat is valuable or even useful for such purpose . Unless a life _ office continues year after year to obtain a large new busi- l ness , it must rapidly decline and eventually cease to exist . STATEMENT of New Life Business of the UNITY " GENERAL A .
