![]() Every trader and post factor was expected to know the needs and preferences of the Indian groups resident in his area. He ordered his trading outfit from a generalized list of goods which was sometimes supplemented with specially requested items. The Head Office provided a price, or 'tariff,' for each article, which was marked up for each post to include the cost of its transportation. The marked-up, or 'cost landed tariff' varied according to a post's distance from Winnipeg. (Zinovich 1992, 110) ![]()
