Hudson’s Bay Company offices and trading posts collection in two volumes. Volume One has 40 covers, most having the distinctive "Red Ensign with HBC" flag and matching town cancel, and supported with post cards and ephemera. Includes Northwest Territories, BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. Volume Two has a mix of another 45 covers and post cards including some larger sized commercial covers, although the cover mailed from the SS Distributor and signed by the postmaster is philatelic. There is a bit more ephemera here, including the response from several trading posts made by a collector circa 1977. Truly a labour of love to assemble this from Canada’s oldest corporation.
