Ist It is safe, having a flre test of never less than 126" Fahrenheit. 2nd. It is finished by distillation, without treatment with acids and alkalies as the last procoss. It is double distilled for the purpose of removing the acids and alkalies used in the manufacture of all Petroleum Oils, but which cannot be removed except by their process, 3rd. The Downor Oil being chemically pure, burns with more brUliancy of flame, consuming less oil for a given amount of light. It £ivcs less trouble, because the Lamps require less frequent filling, and the wick less frequent trimming. 4th. Although the Downer Oil costs more per gallon than other oils, it is, in the end, cheaper for tho con sumer, because it gives a greater amount of light with less consumption of oil. Your grocer may tell you he has on sale an oil in quality equal to Downer Oil. Don't believe this story. Downer Oil is quoted and known all over the world as the highest standard brand. This reputation has been achieved by its having been made by a better process and more costly than others, which process has been adhered to from the, beginning, without re gard to expense. . v;.< !< W N.B.— .'

There is no branch of commercial enterprise in New Zealand which presents such favourable opening for the investment of capital as that of Fire and Marine Insurance. The success which has attended the establishment of the "New Zealand" and the "South British ' Companies is a proof of this. The business of Fire and Marine Insurance Is so rapidly increasinc that there is ample room for another company in this colony. Largely-Increased facilities for covering, this class of risks are imperatively re quired, and the Nation At Insurance Company is founded, to supply this want. ~ This company is not started in opposition to any of the other New Zealand Companies, but is intended to. co-operate with them in fostering the Trade and Commerce of the! colony, and concentrating in the country the large capital which is annually drafted out of it by foreign insurance companies. In order to make this a purely colonial company, and to induce a large amount of business through the Influence of its shareholders, it is, proposed to distri bute the shares over the whole colony, and In their allotment to keep in view the ability of shareholders toiihflUence business to the company. 40,000 Shares will he reserved for Otago and South- . land, and the remainder aUotted to the Northern provinces: i ■ . The operations of the Company will be conducted on, sound principles, and extreme caution will be exercised in the selection of risks. It is intended that the Articles of Association shall provide for the Election of Local Boards of Directors by the shareholders in chief commercial centres of the colony. . .•.:. ' • • The amount proposed to be called in will, it is estimated, make a Sufficient Paid- op Capital to warrant the Company in commencing operations, and it i,s not anticipated that anst further Call will be necessary. The Provisional Directors have secured the services of Mr A. Hill Jack, the present Resident Secretary of the Victoria Insurance Company in New Zealand, as iGBKERAL Manager of this Company. Applications for Shares will be received by the Branches of the National Bank of New Zealand in the various provinces, and by , .
