HIS Company is being formed with the Tchief object of providius owners of
property within the Straits Settlements with a second Local Fire Insurance Olicy, the establishment of which the commercial im- portance of the Settlemente scema fully to
warrant
The volume of Fire Insurance business in the Straits is large and increasing, The existing Company can only take a limited ascant on my one block of buildings, and it is reasomblo to suppose that a second focal Institution would command
agony share of the risks which are now going to far distant Companies, who offer Insurers in profts, and in which no participation little or ne Stare interest is locally held.
It is notorious that Fire Insurance business in the East has for many years past been exceedingly profitable. Rates of premium are well maintained, and the Com- pany has no intention of competing_on lower terms than commonly exist with Eas tarn Mutual Offices.
The Company will be worked in connec tion with, and within the Head Office of,
