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 Marino Insurance is so rapidlyincreasinf, that there is ample room for'another company in this colony. Largely-increased facilities for covering this class 'of risks are imper(|ively re» quired, and tho National Insurance. Company is founded to supply this want.
