To mark this event, Hudson's Bay Comapany buyers have been buying up merchandise to offer its thousands of customers at bargain prices. These bargain sales will take place in every Hudson Bay store and Ajax is no exception. Two and a half pages of bar gains appear in this issue of The Times-Gazette and Hudson's Bay Co. is proud to pass on to its cus- tomers the considerable savings that have been effected by mass buying. The history of Hudson's Bay Co. is well known to every Canadian, in fact it is Canadian history. In- corporated on the 2nd of May, 1670, the company began its trade in the Great Northern Canadian Wilder- ness. From this first primitive store, trading with the Indians and the white settlers has sprung the chain of modern retail stores of the Hud- son's Bay Company known famil- iarly to its thousands of customers as "The Bay". The Ajax Department Store and Marketeria, operated by this com- pany, are the first in Southern Ontario and are links in a chain of 230 fur trading posts, six retail store divisions and 23 stores in the Interior Division. It may be said that the develop- ment of Northern Canada folldwed the Hudson's Bay Company's trials and the presence of the company in Ajax will contribute much to the development of Ajax.
