Sir Wiiliam Whyte has risen
from the ranks, He was born of
humble parents at Charleston, Fife-
shire, Scotland, on September 15,
1843. Quite early in life he was
at work in the offices of the North
British Railway Company. Life
on a Scottish railway, however,
did not offer scope enough for his
ambitions, and at twenty years
of age he was in Canada looking
round for something to do, He
found it with the Grand Trunk
Railway, with which company in
twenty years’ service, he gained

 

valuable experience that has stood
him in good stead ever since. —
