The success which has attended the establishment of the existing Insurance Companies in New Zealand ; the large and increasing field for Insuranco offered by . the progressive increase ot buildings throughout tho Colony, and shipping on the Coast; and the giowing desire evinced by the public to support Local Com panies, furnish sufficient proof that there is ample room for the establbhment of a purely Colonial and bond fide Company of Local Shareholders. The Standard Fire and Marine Insurance Company; has therefore been established, and the Provisional Directors have decided that the following shall be distinctive characteiisit.es of the Company : 1. A really Colonial and National position, to bo secured by an equitable distribution of tho Shares over the whole Colony. 2. An interested body of Shareholders, to be secured by the utmost care being exercised in. allotting Shares to persons known to be insurers and bond fide traders ; and ' 3. Careful and economical management. The promoters believe that an issue of 50,000 Shares will, for some time to come, mtet all the purposes of the Company ; and they purpose that of this number 3 ,000 Shares shall be set apart for allotment over the Northern Piovinces The Directors have unanimously decided to placo themselves on an equality with other applicants as to the allotment of Shares.
