A Short History On The Hudson's Bay Company and The North West Company During The Time Period Before 1850.
This paper provides a short history of the Hudson' Bay Company and the North West Company. In spite of an aggressive entry in to the market, the North West Company was not able to sustain its initial price advantage when the Hudson's Bay Company responded to this competitive threat. The superior management and financing of the Hudson's Bay Company also contributed to its survival as the primary firm in the Canadian fur trade market after 1850. 16 pgs. 25 f/c. 15b.
