George Weston
George Weston (March 23, 1864 - April 6, 1924), Canadian businessman and founder of George Weston Limited, became Toronto’s biggest baker with Canada’s largest bread factory.〔 Weston began his career at the age of twelve as a baker's apprentice 〔 and went on to become a bread route salesman. By the turn of the century, he was known throughout the city for his "Weston’s Home-Made Bread" and years later for "Weston’s Biscuits." In addition to being a successful local businessman, he was also a prominent Methodist, as well as a municipal politician who served four years as alderman on Toronto City Council.
== Early years ==
George Weston was born to William and Ann Weston at Oswego, New York, in 1864. By the time George turned four, the family, British immigrants who first settled in Canada, had returned to Toronto after some time in the United States. As one of eight children, George aspired to be a "minister of the Gospel" from an early age and, in fact, remained a devout Methodist throughout his life. But the family continued to struggle and funding any kind of higher education was beyond its means. On completing public school, George was sent out into the workforce, apparently to help supplement the family income.
