Started With $4,000.


His influence with the public pro-
cured the formation of company,
whose paid up capital was a little
over $4,000. His influence with his
cousin, King Charles II, sufficed to
obtain charter, the liberal monarch
bestowed half the continent upon
these spectators, on no more burden
some terms than that they should pay
two elSs and two beavers to the SOW
ereign whenever he visited their ter
ritory.
Thus largely privileged the adVen-
| turers entered upon a career of un-
usual success. In few years they
paid dividend at the rate of SO per
cent. A little later they trebled their
capital out of profits and paid TO
shareholders 25 per cent upon the in
creased amount. Still later, the cap
ital was once more trebled from the
same source without diminution of
the rate of dividend.
The savages who overthrew the Ro-
man empire had introduced to South
ern Europe the beautiful furs of the
north. Great ladies sought eagerly
for purposes of ornament, such furs
as those with which the northern
savage clothed himself and his chill
dren; sought eagerly but often un-
successfully, for demand outstripped
supply. The fur trade became one
of the most lucrative which the world
has ever known, which explains the
origin of the legend found in this
window today. "The Governor and
Company of Adventures Trading INTO
Hudson's Bay" C. e. M'LELLAN.

The Hudson Bay Company.

Mention has already been made of
one powerful corporation represent
ed here: but here, also, are the
stores and warehouses of another
company which, at one time in the
country's history, exercised an influ-
ence and reaped profits which, in
proportion to the capital invested,
would make the dividends of the first
named corporation look silly, and

calls to find ones self facing a win

Perhaps a word or two about the
formation of this company is as
good a way as any to close this let
ter. The first Europeans coming tc
this country, says the historian, found
it in possession of a people who made
their living almost wholly by hunting
and these Indians were willing to sci
for very small payment, the furs o.
the animals thus caught, which were
eagerly desired in Europe.
A sagacious Frenchman seems t'
have been the first to perceive the
advantages to be gained by system
