I am a fur trader for HBC (Hudson Bay Company) it is a pretty exiting job. It is perfect for me, because I am a good bargainer. I never settle for a first offer, even if it might be fair. The only problem is that I haven’t had much business lately because the North West Company is stealing all our costumers. Every body buys from them now because they have better furs. The HBC and the NWC trade there fur differently. The HBC has posts set up around Hudson Bay, and wait for the First Nations to come to us. The NWC travels a cross the continent looking for furs to trade. My wife sais that I should switch companies and work for the NWC because they are doing so much better, but if I did I would be so far away from my family. The NWC travel to new places to find fur, I could be all the way across the country, and I could not live like that. I hope the HBC will start doing better and drive the NWC out of business, because if they don’t, soon I wont have a job
