you with a sample of my signature to complete your page devoted to Hudson's Bay Company./

Bay Company to be born in Canada. He served in the gubernatorial post from 1970 to
1982 and monitored the company's relocation of its headquarters from London, England,
to Winnipeg, thus transferring ownership from Britain to Canada. During his travels
throughout the Canadian Arctic, Richardson developed an interest in Inuit art. Rippled near
