This Company being compelled by its Articles of Association to Reserve 100,000 Shares (half the Capital) to be alloted from time to time to Actual Insurers only, in proportion to the amount of premiums paid, offers to the public generally, and particularly to men of small means, the twofold advantage, which no Fire Insurance Company in New Zealand has hitherto offered, that of security against loss from fire combined with participation in the profits of one of the safest and most lucrative kinds of investment in the world. An insurer with this Company, being a shareholder, in effect reduces the rate charged on his ovm property in proportion to the amount of premium he pays and the influence he exerts to induce others to insure with 1 the Company. /TlHfi COLONIAL INSURANCE COMPANY OF JL NEW ZEALAND.
