    QUIZ: HUDSON'S BAY COMPANY

    Hudson's Bay Company was in the news this week.
    The following excerpts were taken from a May 19th New
    York Times article.

    "The Hudson's Bay Company has had its share of
    adventures since it was formed by King Charles II of
    England 334 years ago to open trading opportunities
    in North America. By bartering furs with Indians and
    then building a far-flung network of trading posts, the
    early Bay men laid the foundation for Canada's biggest
    chain of department stores.

    Now Hudson's Bay, which claims to be North America's
    oldest corporation and whose stores are a landmark in
    every big Canadian city, is facing what could be the
    biggest adventure in its illustrious history: being taken over,
    and possibly broken up, by an American corporate raider."

    "The chairman of Hudson's Bay still holds the title of
    governor conferred by the original royal charter in 1670,
    and the corporate coat of arms features four beavers, two
    moose and a fox."
