iimww hipwm}» Organization The 17th century was an adventurous time, and it was possible for Englishmen to set out and make their fortunes in places their grandfathers had never heard of. Trad- ing companies were chartered and sent to India, Africa, and America. Two French traders suggested to Charles of England that fortunes could be made in the fur trade in North America. Following the explorations of Sieur de Groseilliers in 1668, Charles chartered the Company of Adventurers of England Trading into Hud- son’s Bay in 1670. He granted them sole trading rights in the lands drained by the streams and rivers which flow into Hudson Bay (then called Hudson’s Bay). They were also empowered to pass and enforce laws, employ armed forces, and build forts. The Hudson's Bay Company, as it came to be called, was controlled by the stockholders in London. The committee sent detailed in- struction to North America, and the traders sent furs and profits to London. The company expanded its operations to include almost all of Canada and much of the Pacific Coast of what is now the United States. The picture at left shows the compa- ny flag waving over Fort Vancouver. Between 18’38 and 1859 the company had a complete monopoly of the Canadian fur trade. Today the company has lost its monopoly and its vast lands, which had been a valuable source of income. But it still carries on many activities, including the operation of a chain of department stores. mm WWW wmmm vrnrn
