This Company being compelled by its Articles of Association to reserve a one hundred thousand shares (half the capital), to be allotted from time to time to actual insurers 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 tha 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 oion property n proportion to the amount of premium he pays and the influence he exerts to induce others to insure with the Company. .
