The a vessel of fifty tons sailed for Hudson Bay in 1668. This was an event of momentous significance. Its cargo consisted of a few simple articles to be exchanged for furs. During the years 1915-1919 the Hudson s Bay com Pany transported for various governments goods in excess of tons. In 1918 and 1919 the work was equivalent to unloading the contents of the non such every seven minutes of the Day arid night for two end. The ships and cargoes sunk by submarines were valued at of greater interest and importance is the huge Trade of the company s stores in Many Canadian cities. To them May fitly be applied the words which a Wise old Indian spoke to his tribesmen one Hundred and sixty years ago there Are traders of the great Lake yonder Hudson Bay who Are never absent neither in our time nor in the time of our grandfathers and great grandfathers. They Are like the Rock which cannot be moved and they give Good goods and plenty and Are always the same. If you Are Wise you will go hence and Deal with this Sage counsel to the indians in the eighteenth Century applies no less to the people of Canada nearly two Hundred years later.
