FIRE INSURANCE.

1: (Vo the..Editor.)—- ~ ! Sib,—lhave delayed addressing you, hoping that isome abler pen than niine would have *vritteni in '.. . reference; to ;the" subject ;.considered jby. your ■ '.qonteippor'aryin a leading'article on' Saturday last^-but, betbre -proceediug to reply to the '■ mdttefs mexitionedlh ;tne ,article,"l will remark that"it savours;mbre'' of the General Manager s !f 'rooni. of • one of 'our;'-local',Jnsurance Companies ■""- than1 of the sanctum of the Kditor of the morning journal—a large portion"of■'personal Jealousy ; evidently.prompting andvunderlyins; many; ot the remarks. In the article .in question a very gloss insinuation is made which may. be; taken' to apply to.some dozen of our commercial gentle men;whd occupy the posidon of representatives for English and other Fire Insurance Companies. ,It intimates plain>y. that some of these are, or ■ ;:' may, be so eager to make a commission that they .are utterly reckless as to the nature and amount ( \,;bf 'the iisk accepted, caring little whether profit or loss be the result, and hiding the real state of affairs fiom their principals. In reference to the matter of touting ;• ■'■/-or forcine; business referred to in connection, ; .'"with the late fire in the Theatre Royal buildingSi it seems1 to me an' absurd ity, that because a man in theposition of Mv Hoag, at the late inques :nb doubt / feehng , the critical- position in which ; 1 he might .be placed, should put his best case forward to show that he did not run about to effect an insurance ; that therefore, because he had insured somewhat Involuntarily, the writer ■of the article should infer that he or they must of iiecessity have." soon ; come to the conclusion ' " that theymight just as Wfll have something for their money, aud make the affair as .profitable as they can." This sir, and the proceeding one, , "arfe' insinuations which, I think, the PreßS has ' ' no right to make, and which the writer of the said leader dare not make publicly and openly .against any of the persons referred to. With regard to the remedies proposed, the suggested inquiry before a Resident Magistrate would be of great value ; but that of frequent valuation and inspection of > stock would not bo of. the smallest benefit, as in the case of the honest insurer, it is obviously unnecessary; while in the case of the dishonest insurer, even if the stock were taken weekly, it would not prevent two-thirds being removed the next day, and a fire stick applied the night after. Ana now I come to what I consider to be the root of the matter, and that is honesty, without which no business of whatever description can be suc cessfully carried on. Tha dishonest man will swindle someone, be it the merchant, store keeper, bank, or Insurance Company; and what we want, i£ .these fires are the work of willing hands, is a larger amount-of honesty moro than an increased vigilance on the part of Insurance Companies. In conclusion, I wish to refer to the new system (so called) of touting, or forcing, or soliciting business, I suppose it means: it is all very well for old estabiished companies to endeavour to make the public believe that they do not tout or force, or solicit business, and it is very fine for the writer of the article to imply that his company has gained its present status without so doing; but I am in a position to assert that such is not the case, and if there is a company doing business in Auckland that can afford to wait patiently for business to come, and for premiums to be poured into its coffers, I challenge the representative, be he manager or agent, to step forward and declare himself. I maintain, sir, that not even The oldest New Zealand Company, can now afford, and certainly ' aoes not carry on its business without. being guilty of this "new element" of touting, forcing, and soliciting business. In the interests of justice I trust, sir, you will be good enough to publish the above in your widely-circulated journal.— I am, &c, Spectatob. .

They, were made by the Bicbt Wkst End of lonpon-, Tailors according to my own directions to suit the requirements of this market, and wih be found to be the FINKST SAMPLK OF GOODS ever landed here for Summer wear. It is not my custom (as is v*ry often done by come shop-keepers), to bring off the back shelves las year's Goods, and advertise them as New atock." I would specially call the attention ol parents and guardians 10 the shipment ,ol JUVKNILK SUITS. Although only opened out last week, their adaptability both »s regards style and material, has caused more than half of them to be sold. Those therefore who wish to see the rising generation " smartly dressed for tha Holid»y3, should without delay pay a ■visit to my establishment. FIRST COME. FIRST SKRVISD. «r SPECIAL.

" Small Profits and Quick Returns" has always been my motto, and this is the secret of my business still increasing.
