PAOSPhOTOS.
This company is formed w,th the special object of uniting
into one strong institution, with its chief office in London,
numerous small local and colonial institutions, requiring
COD solidat 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 "clearing house" of the ommercial world,
the different colonial insurance offices have experienc:!,l the
absolute neces ity of being effectually represented there, and
this representation they now realise can only be ful y secured,
as in the case of the colonial local banks, through amalga-
mation with some London cmpany of ample means and com-
manding general- confidence.
The directors of the Home and Colonial Company have
been applied to by shareholders in these companies to estab-
lish sue ; London institution, and are now in treaty wi
several very successful colonial insurarce offices, either for
entire amaigivratioa, on very favourable terms, or for that
beneficial reciprocity of agency which will at once secure to
the Home and Colonial Assurance Company a most valuable,
safe, and lucr,tive business as a co-operative assurance com-
pan.
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 business in the Australian, South
African, Canadian, and Easte n settlements is at a rate of
progress which has no parallel in European countries. •
The princip eof assuring investments made through the
comp ny's agency—a principle so u,ces,iul!y ca-ried out by
colonial offices—will enter as anew fea.ure into h.? objects of
the "Home and Colo ::ial AFS .11 ance C mpany ;" and as in
I s numerous agencies in all parts it will possess peen iar
facilities for making assured investments :or individuals in
sound foreign and colonial securities, the Directors confi-
dently anticipate, from the agency and insurance charges in
this department of their business, a very large and steady
rev,nue 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 ne2lcct 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 large increase of fire in-
surance business here, which may be expected to follow the
anticipated abolit on of the heavy and imp )litie stamp tax
at presmnt imposed on r o'icies of insurance.
No promotion money given in connection with this Com-
pany, and the Eirectors' remuneration to be left to the share-
holders.
