There is no branch of commercial enterprise in New Zealand which presents such favourable opening fer 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 increasing tbat there is ample room for another company in this colony. Largely-Increased faciUtie* for covering this class ;of risks are imperatively re quired, and the National Insurance Company ii 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 ot the colony, and concentrating in the country the large capital Which is annually drafted out of it by foreign insurance campanies. ■ ■ ' 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 aUotment to keep in view the ability of shareholders to influence business to the company. . 40,000 Shares will be reserved for Otago and South land, and the remainder aUotted to the Northern provinces. • , The operations of the Company wiU be conducted on sound principles, and extreme caution will be exercised in the selection of risks. „ It is intended that the Articles of Association shaU 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 wiU, it Is estimated, make a Sufficient Paid-up Capital: to warrant the Company in commencing operations, and it is not anticipated that akv further Call wiu.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 General 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 .
