Page "lore" Paragraph 1122

The directors sold directly to concessionaires, who had to make their profits above the high prices asked by the company.

These concessionaires traded where they wished and generally dealt with the Indians through engages, who might be habitants, voyageurs, or even soldiers.

The concessionaires also had to pay a tax of one-tenth on the goods they traded, and all pelts were to be taken to company stores and shipped to France in company ships.

The company disposed of the pelts, but with what profit, the records do not show.
