CS.
This company is formPROSPEe i w.th theTU special object of uniting
into one strong institution, with its Chief office in London,
numerous small local and colonial inobtivions, requiring
consolidat on and additional strength and resource.
The principle of so uniting Small colonial institutions has
been most successfully applied to colonial and foreign bank-
ing Companies; and as London is becoming daily more and
more the great "clearieg house" of the commercial world,
the different colonial insurance offices have experienced the
absolute neees•ity of being effectually represented there, and
this representation they now realise can only be ful y secured,
?errs
as in the case of the colonial local banks, through amalga-
H
mation with some London company of ample means and com-
manding general confidence.
Ther s
ainndthCeosleoncoiamlpCaonmiepsatnoyhave
been estab-
lish sun London inttitutioi, and are now in treaty wi h
v
entire amalga mat'
1, on very favourable terms, or for that
beneficial reci- colonial insurarce offices, either for
the Horn valuable,
and Colonial Assurance company most
safe, .orocity of agency which will at once secure to
V
nd lucrative business as a co-operative assurance coin-
•
it may be mentioned, as indicative of the success of the
colonial insurance companies, that their selling prices
range from 1.0 to as high as 1,000 per cent. premium, and
the increase of insurance busines 5 in the Australian, South
African, Canadian, and Easte'n settlements is at a rate of
progress which has noiparallel in European countries.
The princip'e of assuring investments made through the
colonial offices—will enter as anew feature into objects of
comp ny's agency—a pr nciple so ircessfully ea-ried out by
the "Home and Colonial Assurance C mpany ;" ani as is
i a numerous agencies in all parts it will possess pecu iar
facilities for making assured investments nor individuals in
sound foreign and colonial securities, the Directors mil-
dently anticipate, from the agency and insurance charges in
this department of their business, a very Lrge and steady
revenue to their shareholders.

While, however, the Home and Colonial Assurance Com-
pany will specially direct its attention to foreign and colo-
nial business, it will not neAcct at the same time to cultivate
a home business—a department which will be greatly fos-
tered through its colonial connection. It will also, as a Fire
Assurance Company, share in that I a*ge increase of fire in-
surance business here, which may be expected to follow the
anticipated abolit on of the heavy and imp .litio stamp tax
at present imposed on ro'icies of insurance.
No promotion money given in connection with this Com-
pany, and the L ircctors' remuneration to be left to the share-
holders.
