The Standard Fire and Marine Insurance Company has therefore been established, and the Provisional Directors have decided that the following shall be distinctive characteristics of the Company : 1. A really Colonial and National position, to be secured by an equitable distribution of the Shares over the whole Colony. 2. An interested body of Shareholders, to be secured by the utmost care being exercised in allotting Shares to persons known to be insurers and bona fide traders ; and 3. Careful and economical management. The promoters believe that an issue of 50,000 Shares will, for some time to come, meet all the purposes of the Company ; and they purpose that of- this number 30,000 Shares shall be set apart for allotment over the Northern provinces. Application* for Shares will be received by the Interim Secretary, at the Company's Temporary Office, Princes-street, and Deposits to be lodged at the various branches of the Bank of New Zealand throughout the Colony.
