The LOWEST RATES only are charged. This Office is distinguished for its liberality and promptness in the settlement of claims, £2,G08,115 having been paid to insurers for losses by fire.

NO CHARGE for Policies, Endorsements, or Surveys, A LOCAL INSTITUTION so far as the investment op 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.
