My Great Grandfather was manager of Great West Permanent Loans Company of Canada, 356 main Street, 1909, 1923, was the address on the shipping dock, passenger in 1923 on the SS Montclair, and opened up an office of Great West in Edinburgh, Scotland, then to London Life, it would be now I believe and Belfast, Ireland, from Winnipeg, head office 356 main when my Great Aunty Helen was 2 1/2, and Grandpa, was 5, riding on the large Empress ship in 1911, going into Glasgow Harbor. He was working for the president WT would that be William Tupper? Looking for the history on Great West Permanent Loans Company of Canada, and what is it now, Great West Life? We went on the live our family in the United Church of Canada, Union College of BC, worked there in 1927 to 1937 tens years as a Freemason, Our history was erased and I found it, Manager of Great West Permanent Loans, wow for WT, we are apart of history in Winnipeg, we were farmers our family
