FAMOUS HUDSON’S BAY 
"POINT” BLANKETS 
Were created 150 years ago to meet 
the exacting conditions, encountered by 
fur traders, in the frozen north, neither 
sleet nor snow, ice nor frigid rain can 
penetrate their perfect protection, and 
their colorful warmth, quickly became 
known as the standard for health insur- 
ance. 
From then until now, these durable 
blankets have maintained their original 
inimitable qualities, actual samples of 
Hudson's Bay “point” Blankets 40 to 50 
and even 60 years old are on record, as 
still giving unequaled service, and the 
label is a permanent guarantee of satis- 
faction, just as enduring as the first 
blanket made so long ago. 
Their name is a magic phrase, that 
yesterday, today and always means the 
ultimate in rugged beauty, and endur¬ 
ing warmth and quality. The great 
outdoors merely caresses him who sleeps 
beneath a Hudson's Bay ''point” Blan¬ 
ket. 
Over 150 years ago, the Hudson’s Bay 
Co., started making their genuine 
“point” Blankets. In those days, Indians 
traded furs for goods, short indigo lines 
called “points” meant prices. Thus "b/i 
marks or “points” meant three large and 
one small beaver skin. 4 “points” meant 
a price of four beaver skins. 
Today points indicate size. Thus 3/z 
“points” blankets measure 63 by 81 
inches, and weigh 10 lbs. per pair. 4 
“points” blankets measure, 72 by 90 
inches, and weigh 12 lbs. per pair. 
Colors are, Scarlet; Multi-Stripe; Green; 
Khaki; White; Empire Blue; Camel; and 
Grey. 
Hudson's Bay “point” Blankets, have 
a famous name, meaning supreme, blan¬ 
ket quality, they retain their beauty and 
are a lasting satisfaction, to those who 
delight in owning really fine things. We 
can supply a color folder, that will show 
these blankets in their several colors. 
Until recently these blankets have al¬ 
ways sold for $30.00 to $35.00 per pair.

the following low prices.

FROM A RECENT LETTER 
RECEIVED 
It might interest you to know that we 
had a letter come to us unsolicited very 
recently telling about a Hudson’s Bay 
Blanket which had been used for 75 
years—part of the time as a tent cover— 
and that it was still in serviceable con¬ 
dition although frayed at the edges.
