In proof of the public confidence at home in the principles an d<jonduct of the Norwich Union Fire Office its Business has steadily INCREASED to ONE HUNDRED MILLIONS Sterling. £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 invkstment of its Receipts in tiie Colony of New Zealand, and to this national advantage may be superadded the support of a large and wealthy English office.

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 ments of the 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.

IT has come to our knowledge that some unprincipled persons are making a spurious imitation of our Fire Kindlers after our own shape, the said Kindlers being made with Coal Tar, whereiis our Kauri Gum Fire Kindlers do not contain one particle of that offensive material, the principal ingredient being Kauri Gum.
