THE ALLIANCE INSURANCE COMPANY.

This most popular and powerful company was established in 1824 in England. On account uf the admirable manner in which it has been managed and its large capital, it has obtained a great and most remunerative business, It may now be safely said to be one of the wealthiest and most prosperous companies in tho world. Its-capital is £5,000,000 (of which i5.i0.000 are paid up), and there are very large The Right Hon. Lord Itothschild and a highly influential hoard of directors govern the company, To iimve ifc-c power of development wo may state that, during the past year or so it has bought right out no kss than five companies, all of which were doing a good volume of business, We may wet., tion that a special feature of the business of this company is, that besides the usual risks taken by this and other similar institution?, it issues insurances to protect insurers from loss of rent during the reinstatement of property destroyed or rendered untenable by lire. Policies to cover farm stock (a'ive and dead) including implements of husbandry are issued at the lowest currant rates, We think tho directors and Mr W, Devßiiish Mcaros, tho General Manager f'-r New Zealand could not have made a better selection for manner of the Auckland branch than tint of Mr 13 Kent, tho gentlemon who so ably fills that position there Mr Kent is admirably fitted by early training for the billet. He will undoubtedly wisely and energetically push the company's business and manage tho affairs of his branch well. Socially, he is a distinct gain for Auckland as ho is "un tan hmmne" as tlio French say, being courteous urbane and genial. He is an excellent musician and is conductor of the Auckland Choral Society, He is also quits an expeitin insurance Tho company is well and favourably known wherever it has been established and it bears a good name for honourable dealing and prompt and liberal payments. We. direct attention to its advertisement ap-* pearinf, olsowhere, and would urge our nnmerjus readers who wish to ensure property to give the Alliance a share of their patronago.
