I'm guessing it was like other HBC trading Forts which means everything. It was the Super Store of the day. Of course you could get guns and everything for guns, as well as axes, knifes, traps, hinges, door latches, kettles, pots, pans, and anything else made of metal you might want but you could also get spices, flour, and other food not locally available. Clothing, blankets, books, tobacco, medicine, anything that traded well was stocked.
And anything you could think of could be ordered. Lets say you want to hold a big party, you could order a piano, likely even someone to play it. Of course they are not going to show up for a year or more but you could order it.
