Worlds Oldest Company
 Passes 255th Birthday
Hudson's Bay company Has Given Two Centuries and Half of Service to Country It Helped to Make-Some of Huge Modern Department Stores Are Direct Des- cendants of Fur Trading Post of 0lden Days

The huge sale under way this week simultaneously by the eleven department stores throughout Can ada of the Hudson's Bay Company celebrates the 255th anniversary of what Canada, one of the worlds younger countries, can boast of as being the oldest company in the world.
 On May 2, 1870. the charter of incorporation was granted by King Charles II of Merrie England to "The Governor and Company of Ad- venturers of England trading into Hudson's Bay" who were thereby extended the privilege of trading to the extent of their ability in the unexplored tracts of wilderness surrounding the Hudson Bay in Northern America.
 The men of the company were declared to be the true and ab solute lords and proprietors' of the unknown land, the charter con- ceding them the power to make laws, impose penalties and punish ments and to judge all civil and criminal causes according to the English laws.
 They were also accorded permis- sion to erect forts, employ armed forces and to appoint commanders. They were indeed "monarchs of all they surveyed" or at least of all they were able to conquer in the vast trackless country. so rich in the promise of treasure and exten- sion of Empire.

A Great Inheritance

Referring to these, Sir Robert Kindersley says: They are the background of the life of the ser vice, and we read of the men who carried on the fur trade, which was the precursor of the opening up the great areas for farming and industry. .''
 'The committee of today realize that they are the custodians of a great inheritance, which it is their duty to hand on, enchanced and not impaired, to future generations The highest prosperity is, and must continue to be, bound up with the welfare of Canada, and it is no exaggeration to say that the future of the company depends upon the efficiency of the service it renders to the country it has helped to make. victoria Colonist.

 Though many other companies besides the Hudson's Bay were iounded in England and granted charters, most of them failed through lack of cooperation or proper management; and the Hud- son $ Bay Company remains as a living example of the age old law o1 the survival of the fttest''-it- test not only because of the securi- y of its foundations, nor solely because of the spirit of service which really inspired it and gave it nobility and strength, but also because of its capacity for adapta- tion to the changing conditions of the ages.
