PROSPECTUS.

Is Company is being formed with the chief object of providing owners of property within the Straits Settlements with second Local Fire Insurance Office, the establishment of which the commercial in- portance of the Settlements seems fully to warrant,

The volume of Fire Insurance business in the Straits is large and increasing The existing Company can only take a limited amount on my one block of buildings, and it is ressable to suppose that a second local Tuatitution would command a goodly share of the risks which are now going to far distant Companies, who offer losurers participation in profits, and in which little or no Share interest is locally held.

actorious that Fire Insurance It is business in the East has for many your past boon oxseedjogly profitable. Rates of premium are well maintained, and the Com pany has no intention of competing on lower terms than commonly exist with Eas tern Mutual Officers

no

The Company will be worked in connao- with, and within the Head Office of,
