THE success which has attended the establishment of the existing Insurance Companies in New Zealand ; the large and increasing field for Insurance offered by the progressive increase of buildings throughout the Colony, and shipping on the coast ; and the growing desire evinced by the public to support local Companies, furnish sufficient proof that there is ample room for the establishment of a purely Colonial and bona fide Company of local shareholders. The Standard Fi-e 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 position, to be secured by an equitable distribution of the Shares over the whole Colony. 2. An interested bo;iy of Shareholders, to be secured by the utmost care being exercised in allotting Shares to persons known to be insurers and bona fide traders ; and 3. Careful and economical management. The promoters believe that an issue of 50,000 Shares will, for some time to cosie, 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 Share* will bo received by th i Interim Secretary, nt thd Company's temporary Office, Princes street, Dunedin, or by the undersigned, and deposits will be received at the various branches of the Bank of New Zealand throughout the Colony.
