THE STANDARD FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY has therefore been established, and the Provisional Directors have decided that the following shall be distinctive characteristics of the Company ; 1. A really Colonial and National po sition, to be secured by an equitable distribution of the Shares over the whole Colony. 2. An interested body of Shareholders, to be secured by the utmost cart being exerbised in allotting Shares to persons known to he insurers ami bona Jhlc traders : and 3. Careful and economical, management. The promoters believe that an issue of 50,000 Shares will, for some time to come, meet all the purposes of the Company ; and they purpose that of this number 30,000 Shares shall be set apart for allotment over the Northern Provinces. Applications for Shares will be received by the Interim Secretary, at the Company’s Temporary Office, I rinces street, and Deposits will be received at the various branches of the Bank of New Zealand throughout the Colony.
