PROSPECTUS.
This company is for relw h the special object of uniting
into one strong institution, with its chief office in London,
numerous small local and colonial inst.tu ions, requiring
cot.solidat on and addi, ional strengto and resour.e.
a, The principle of so uniting small colonial institutions has
~Feen most successfully applied to colonial and fo' eign bank-
-4,g companies ; and as London is becoming daily more and
' 111,°Ic 'he great "clearitg house" of the ommercial world,
the different colonial incur ace offices hve experienc. i the
thsolute nears ity of being effectually represented there, and
.is representation they n .w realise can on y be fail sr secured,
48 in the case of the colonial local banks, through amalga-
Illation with some Lee.deo. c mpany of ample means and com-
-I"nding gener 4 confidence.
The directors of the Home and Colonial Company have
rewapplied t by shar holders in these companies to estab-
uc London institut,! n, a• d are ow in treaty wi h
several very successful colonial insure, ce offices, either for
tutire amalga atio,, on v. ry favour .ble terms, or for that
ruaeficial reciprocity of agency whLit will at once secure to
o Home and Colonial Assurance • ompany a most valuable,
pan, and liter .tive business as a co-operative assuran.:e corn-
y.
It may be mentioned. as Indicative of the success of the
'colonial insurance companies, that the r selling prices
thetfr m 1 0 to as high as 1,000 per cent. premium, and
ne increase of insurance busines in the Australian, South
African, Canadian, and Easte n sett lemen. s is at a rate of
11ofrress wh,ch has no parallel in European countries.
