The Hudson Bay Company
Two Target Country Adjective traders have approached a group of Country Adjective colonial merchants with a proposal to jointly explore the Western James Bay to determine the feasibility of setting up a lucrative Fur trade along the coastline.
The traders have already approached their colonial governor, who rebuked them out of concern that exploration of the Hudson Bay route might shift the focus of the fur trade away from the St. Lawrence River.

18444historical_info = flavor_eng.181.historical_info The Hudson's Bay Company was a fur trading business for much of its existence and today operates as a retail business group. The company was granted a commercial monopoly in 1670 over the entire Hudson Bay area. Evidence of the potential of the area was presented by two French merchants, who upon returning to England sought and gained the sponsorship of Prince Rupert.
