It's probably not unsporting to point this out—since Leap Year is 'still more than a year away —but the president of the coast- to-coast Guaranty Trust Co. (as- sets under administration, $175,- 000,000) is a bachelor with a county estate at Gormley and an apartment in town — J. Wil- son Berry. One of the reasons that•Berry has remained in single blessed- ness likely has to do with his work, which is his chief delight and provides him with both live- lihood and recreation. "I have no particular hobbies," he says, seated behind what must easily he one of .Toronto's most tidy desks, "my work is my life." And Berry 'can be satisfied that he has been eminently suc- cessful at his profession. He be- came president of the trust com- pany when he was barely 43 — one of the youngest trust com- pany presidents in Canadian his- tory — and was very largely in- strumental in founding the com- pany in Windsor in the twenties. Berry is in the farm -boy -to - big -city -executive tradition, He was born in Hensall, Ont., and his father was an importer of draft horses (chiefly from Scot- land and France) and a judge at the Royal Winter Fair. The young Berry, after finishing pub- lic school in Hensall, attended high school in Clinton, a 12 -mile trip which he made twice daily on the railway. After high school Berry took a job in the old Sterling Bank (at $25 a month). The Sterling was later amalgamated into the old Standard Bank, which was subsequently taken over by the Canadian. Bank of Commerce. Berry was sufficiently success- ful at banking that he became an acting manager within two years. Although the life of a banker appealed to him, Berry says that he wanted to "broaden out" and he took a job with a finance company in Windsor. The work here was interesting also, but ' Berry was fascinated with the function of a trust company. "I' !got a copy of the Trust Corn- panies Act and read it," he says, I and I was so intrigued with the possibilities of trust work Lthat I got a job with a 'trust cora- . l pany Windsor." While in Windsor Berry took' himself across the river to De- troit in the evenings to study law and accounting at the Llni- vcrsity of Detroit and had !enough initiative to interest groupof prominent Windsor' men in founding the Guaranty Trust in 1926, "1 was pretty in- tense in those days," he ad-, I mils. (It might be parenthetical- ly stated here that young men ! with an eye to the future can learn something from Berry's career — he was interested in trust company Werk, so he read, about it; when he felt the need of further education he got on The ball and slugged it out at night School, and he had enough gumption while still in his early twenties to talk 'to leading bei. tiesstnen and convince them they should establish a trust corn- pahy. Spoon feeding formed a mighty small part of his career). In 1954 terry wt Windsor and dame to TorontO for the company. Two year Wet he WaS netted general manager /se the firm' and he points with very Pardonable Pride to the fact that in 3034 the assets under ad. ministtation Wee only !MAO,. ()M. compared to today's $11S,. Through his career Berry engineered the amalgamation into the Guaranty cif five other trust companies — the Fidelity; Niagara Falls Loan and Saving;. Capital; Western and the Equit- able. Today the Guaranty has 14* branches and three agencies from Vancouver to St: John's; Newfoundland. "It's been a busy time," Berry, admits. - Evidently it still is, Berry has watched over and very largely guided the fast growth.' of. the company. He was, 'named presi- dent in 1945 and. today keeps close tabs on the Guaranty's Canada -wide operations. Twice a year he travels from coast to coast and- when he is in Toronto he put in a 9:30 to 5:30 or 6 day followed by a lot of necessary reading at home. The reading, he says, is a "muet," and he adds that most of his real thinking, is done at Gormley. "You don't get A chance to do that kind, of think- ing in the office,"4 he says—and plenty of executives will under- stand exactly what he means. At Gormley Berry does in- dulge in some • recreation. He keeps a saddle horse and. en- joys overseeing the property. He gave up golf (although he was good enough to have a handicap of only 10) and also curling. This last he describes with the enthusiasm of a real devetee. "It is," he - says, "the most gentlemanly of all games." But the pressure 'of his office made it more and more difficidt for him to be present for scheduled games. Besides his trust companY I work, Berry is one of three trustees of the Grottoes . of North America, an organization devoted to assisting cerebral palsy victims. He is a director of the , Traders Finance Co., Canadian General Insurance Co., Toronto General Insurance Co. and the Traders General Insur- ance Co. He is also a member of the Metropolian Planning Board, • Like many senior executives, Berry sees little tax relief in the offing for big corporations. The growing welfare state, he says, means "more and bigger" spending by governments and "more and more" interference with private business. The growth of paternalism is a mat- ter of concern to him, but in coretnon with other business leaders he sees little on the ho- rizon which will halt its growth'. In the meantime, bachelor Berry runs a trust company of national int piittance from, its hub in Toronto, a highly suc- cessful executive in a highly competitive field..
