M.- and 'Mrs, George 1Vallace
(This profile of a native of
Hensall, now a leader in final's
cial circles, recently appeared
in The Globe and Mail.)
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..
