This has been awhile coming. They struggled with bad management since they were bought by a US investment company in 2006. Just in December the parent umbrella of Hudson Bay spent over $2B buying Neiman Marcus.

What a damn shame. I think the history of The Company is amazing. I'm proud to say, and many of us on this forum can say, since we sold fur to NAFA, "I was a trapper for the Hudon's Bay Company."

Technically correct, NAFA didn't buy the fur, NAFA sold furs through consignment, but your check came from NAFA.

Before 1987 I sent my furs up through George Sovie and at that time they were Hudson Bay.
After 1987 stock market crashed Hudson Bay got out of the business and came back in as NAFA.
Nafe was an auction house that got into the ranch mink business and that boys and girls is what to NAFA down.
They should have stayed with wild fur but...............that is another story and that is History.

Back in late 1950's used to shop at HBC in Happy Valley, Goose Bay, Labrador. And mail order from Sears and Roebuck.
