Solicitors: j Messrs Hammer and^Harper, Tliis Company is organised in response to the wish of a large number of capitalists, merchants, and others, who have already promised a considerable amount of support, and with the intent of offering to the general body of the I Public a further opportunity of becoming, as ' * ar 88 possible, their own insurers. o The increase of insurable property in this i olony has been so rapid that there is, in the ‘ opinion of the promoters, ample scope for the operations of another Company The Fire and Marine Tn-urance Companies already formed have met with such great and unvarying success that it is quite unnecessary to refer to the profitable nature of such undertakings, but it may be pointed out that this Colony is subject to natural conditions sinSularly favorable to insurance business. One of the most important considerations involved is the distribution of risks, which is here secured through the division of population, and. consequently, of insurable property amongst numerous centres as yet but sparsely occupied, £ The large proportion of substantial buildings now being erected may also bo noted as a feature favorable to the limitation of rialrs in this enterprise. One of the most profitable branches of Marine Insurance is in mterprovincial and intercolomal business, a large proportion of which the promoters have reason to rely upon, In the allotment of shares the Provisional Directors will endeavor to secure an equitable distribution throughout the Colony, so as to combine a powerful association of investors for the security of the assured, together with persons likely to influence business. Agencies will be opened throughout the Colony as speedily as possible, and local Directors appointed. The Chief Office is established at Christchurch. The following gentlemen will hold office as i irectore until the first annual meeting, when they will retire m accordance with the articles of association ~ Messrs J. sttnholme, W.
