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.

What is the driving distance from Edmonton Alberta to Ottawa Ontario?
Using the shortest possible route (Highway 16 west to Jasper, Highway 93 [the Columbia Icefield Parkway] south to Highway 1 [the TransCanada Highway], Highway 1 east to Calgary, and Highway 2 (the Queen Elizabeth II] north to Edmonton) your total distance would be 915 kilometers (571 miles).
Driving time would vary, but Edmonton to Jasper is about 3.5 hours. Jasper to Calgary is about 5 hours. Calgary to Edmonton is about 2.8 hours.
So without stops for gas or meals-and assuming you don't hit Calgary during rush hour-our total driving time is 11.3 hours, more or less. I would think it's closer to 13 hours if you obey the speed limits (approximately) and stop to gas up.
