This Company being compelled by its Articles of Association to reserve a one hundred thousand shares (half tlie capital), to be allotted _ from time to time to actual insurer, only in proportion to the amount of premiums paid, offers to the public generally, and particularly to men of small means, the two-fold advantage, which no Fire Insurance Company of New Zealand has hitherto offered, that""of security against loss from fire combined with participation in _ the profits of one of the safest and most lucrative kinds of investment in the world. An insurer with this Company, being a shareholder, in effect reduces the rate charged on his own property n proportion to the amount of premium he pays and the influence he exerts to induce others to insure with the Company.
