Insurance. TCTORWICH UNION EIRE ll INSURANCE SOCIETY. This Society, originally established in 1797, offers advantages to insurers ' which Companies of more recent standing are unable to do. In proof of the public confidence at home in the principles and conduct of the Norwich Union Fire Office, its Business has steadily INCREASED to ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS Sterling. I n ,_, , ;;" £100,000,000. The LOWEST RATES only are charged. This Office is distinguished for its liberality and promptness in the settlement of claims, £2,608,115 having been paid to insurers for losses by fire. BANK CREDIT being established in New Zealand, as also a large reserve fund in the Bank in cash, Losses will be paid here promptly, The Society's Agents can accept any insurances, and fix the limits and the premiums without having first to consult Directors. NO CHARGE for Policies, Endorsements, or Surveys; A LOCAL INSTITUTION so far as the investment of its Receipts in the Colony of New Zealand, and to this national advantage may be superadded the support of a large and wealthy English office. In effecting Insurances against Fire it is of the first importance to select an office of High Charac ter, Long Standing, and Stability. ' Every information as to the Society's Rates and Principles, or as to Special Rates, may be obtained at the Society's Offices. J. B. GRAHAM, Agent. G. S. GRAHAM, Inspector.

TWO MILLIONS STERLING, Of which £289,095 IS PAID-UP AND IN HAND, With, in addition, the UNLIMITED LIABILITY Of the Shareholders. The ACCUMULATED FUNDS amount to £2,235,518, and are immediately available to meet any unusual calamity. The ANNUAL INCOME exceeds £1.000,000. The Agent in announcing that he continues to receive orders for Assurances, both on Life and every description of property, begs to draw attention to the vast resources of the Company, and the standing which it takes among the large Insurance Establish mentsrof-tn* British"Empire. Unaided by amalgama tion with any other Company its success, with one exception, is unprecedented in the history of In surance Societies, and enables it to rank with the most eligible offices now in existence with respect to the advantages offered to the public. IN THE FIRE BRANCH The rates of premium are equally low with those of any Company doing business in the Colony, and the Company will ever distinguish itself by promptness and liberality in the settlement of losses. THE LIFE BRANCH Offers the Guarantee of an ample Capital, together with its accumulated funds, exemption of the Assured from liability of partnership to which Policy-holders in Mutual Offices are subject, Moderate Premiums, Division of Profits every five years, three-fourths of which are appropriated to participating Policies. At the last distribution the surplus of assets over lia bilities was £249,950, and enabled the Directors to de clare a REVERSIONARY BONUS of £7 10s per cent. In cases of removal of residence renewal premiums will be received, and claims settled, by any of the Company's agents throughout the world.
