Bertram LOEB,
Businessman: (1916-2006)
Would-be Ottawa rabbi entered the family grocery firm with grandiose
visions, only to lose the IGA empire. Later, he built a chain
of gas stations and donated a fortune to charity
By Alex DOBROTA,
Page S9
His father hand-picked him to become a rabbi, but Bertram
LOEB
had other ideas. After a stint as an army canteen manager, he
decided to transform the family store into something much larger.
Years later, after he lost control of the IGA grocery empire,
told the Ottawa Citizen: "I made a fatal error. Instead of going
to study the Bible and Jewish history, I should have gone to
Harvard to study business."
As the head of an international grocery chain, Mr.
LOEB tended
to rely more on his own philosophical considerations than on
the forces that drove the market. He followed visions of grandeur
and sometimes ignored economic factors so that, in the end, his
ambition was his undoing.
The LOEB name, which he fought so hard to bring to the helm of
the corporate world, became attached to the several Ottawa institutions
that benefited from his multimillion-dollar donations. "His father
had always said: 'Make sure the family name retains integrity,'
said his daughter Naomi
LOEB. "
The▲ money was always a means
to an end, it was never an end in itself."
Bertram LOEB grew up in Ottawa in a family of Russian Jewish
immigrants. By all accounts, his father, Moses
LOEB, emigrated
to the United States to avoid being drafted in the czar's army
around the turn of the last century. But in Cincinnati, he grew
nostalgic for Russia's winters and moved to Ottawa where he started
a candy and tobacco store. The store was close to Ottawa's train
station where business was brisk only around departure and arrival
times. In the meantime, he would harness his horses to a carriage
and his peddle goods to other stores. It fell to Bertram and
his five brothers to tend to the horses and to the family warehouse.
Young Bertram had other chores, too, and often displayed a knack
for dodging difficulties. His mother often gave him 25 cents
to take to the market and buy a live chicken for Friday's dinner.
On one occasion, as he was pedalling home on Rideau Street the
chicken flew out of his bicycle basket and began strutting back
in the direction of the market. The boy had just seconds in which
to make a decision. Should he run after the chicken at the risk
of losing his bike? Or should he return home empty-handed and
face the wrath of his mother?
"He dropped the bike, ran after the chicken, got the chicken
and ran back and found his bike… so they had their Friday-night
chicken dinner," Ms.
LOEB said.
Often, Bertram used his resourcefulness to make mischief. One
of his favourite pranks was to coat garlic in syrup and tempt
his Friends with "chocolate-covered almonds," Ms.
LOEB said.
Perhaps because of young Bertram's ability to think on his feet,
Moses LOEB decided to send his son away to rabbinical studies.
He spent four years studying literature and philosophy at New
York University, plus religion at the Jewish Theological Seminary
in New York. After that, he moved to Jerusalem to pursue a master's
degree in Hebrew and returned home just before the Second World
War broke out. In 1940, Mr.
LOEB joined the army and served as
a sergeant at Camp Petawawa, where he managed the base's canteen.
When he returned to Ottawa in 1945, he abandoned his plans to
become a rabbi and chose instead to help his father run his business,
which by then had become a successful wholesale operation called
M. Loeb Ltd. "In many ways, he was a misfit in the world of business,"
his daughter said. "There was this side of him that wanted to
do business. He was certainly interested in business, but he
had no training."
Instead, Mr.
LOEB had a vision. Unlike his father, who often
paid for his transactions in cash and hesitated to take risks,
Mr. LOEB dreamed of turning the family business, in which some
of his brothers also worked, into an international venture.
When Moses
LOEB died in 1951, Mr.
LOEB looked to the United States,
where a group of independent grocers had banded together under
the banner of the Independent Grocer's Association (IGA)
to resist a fast-spreading chain of new stores run by the Atlantic
and Pacific Tea Co. He brought the Independent Grocer's Association
concept to Canada and, one by one, began convincing Ottawa grocers
to join the franchise operation and to buy their stock from his
wholesale business. The IGA franchise quickly spread across
the country. By the end of 1952, the chain embraced 34 stores
and racked up $3.5-million in sales. Along the way, Mr.
LOEB
introduced an incentive system in which customers received a
stamp for every 10 cents' worth of purchases. Shoppers could
accumulate the stamps and trade them for a variety of products.
Much like his father, Mr.
LOEB managed his business with a hands-on
approach and had little patience for dissenters. "He was very
dynamic and he liked to do things his own way," Ms.
LOEB said.
His success quickly took him abroad. In the 1950s, after he helped
raise large sums of money for Jewish charities, he was invited
to Israel, where he met David Ben-Gurion, the country's first
prime minister. Mr. Ben-Gurion said Israel needed entrepreneurs
like Mr. LOEB and asked him to start a supermarket chain. Mr.
LOEB
rose to the challenge and in 1958 opened Israel's first chain
under the name Supersol.
It wasn't that easy, of course. Mr.
LOEB faced stiff opposition
from Orthodox Jews who prohibit placing dairy and meat on the
same table. Many of them wondered how customers could transport
dairy and meat products in the same cart without breaking religious
rules.
Simple, Mr.
LOEB responded, with his characteristic flair for
fixing snags. By placing dairy inside the shopping cart, and
the meat in the cart's top basket.
Meanwhile, IGA Canada had developed by leaps and bounds.
By 1962, it had posted sales of $140-million and a 20-fold increase
in earnings. The chain grew so large that it acquired a company
airplane and a computer, both of which were rare at the time.
Even so, Mr.
LOEB's resourcefulness was not enough to counter
the setbacks he suffered two years later. In 1964, it was revealed
that the man he had picked as the chain's general manager had
embezzled $1.3-million (U.S.) from the company's coffers. The
board of directors, then chaired by the Montreal businessman
Charles
Bronfman, dismissed Mr.
LOEB as its president.
"It was a huge blow to him personally" Naomi
LOEB said. "For
a number of years, he was very, very bitter about what happened
and he turned his back on everything Jewish,
Then,▲ in 1965, Mr.
LOEB chose to donate $450,000 to Ottawa's
Civic Hospital for a medical research centre. The city's mayor,
Charlotte WHITTON, refused the donation, claiming that it would
force taxpayers to assume liability for the building. Some observers
suspected that Ms.
WHITTON cringed at the thought of seeing a
Jewish name on a city facility. "Many people thought she was
an anti-Semite," Ms.
LOEB said.
Instead, Mr.
LOEB offered the money to Carleton University for
the construction of a new social-sciences building that now bears
the LOEB name. Decades later, long after Ms.
WHITTON's tenure
as a mayor, Mr.
LOEB would lead a fundraising campaign for Ottawa's
Civic Hospital that netted $14-million to build a research centre
named after his parents.
"He had a big vision," Rabbi Reuven
BULKA of the Machzikei Hadas
Congregation in Ottawa said. "He looked at charities which are
more than just empty pits. He liked to do things which would
generate results."
Ms. LOEB said her father believed in giving back to the community
and in trying to make the world a better place. "He really did
have a sort philosophical and spiritual side, which is kind of
incompatible with business."
As a rule, Mr.
LOEB avoided red tape and relied on his own instincts
when making donations. "He was a very trusting guy," Mr.
BULKA
said. "He didn't need fancy documents -- just his vision and
the thrust and the direction and the purpose. That was enough
for him."
Those instincts likely betrayed him during the 1970s. By that
time, sales of the M. Loeb Ltd. wholesale operation had exceeded
$1-billion and Mr.
LOEB began an aggressive expansion into the
United States by buying a Chicago IGA franchise. Unfortunately,
he made several serious mistakes. For one thing, his company's
shares were not divided into several classes, which meant such
rivals as Loblaws and Provigo could buy it up and plot a hostile
takeover. To make matters worse, his brothers had already sold
much of their stock, which left Mr.
LOEB with control of only
15 per cent. With theft problems plaguing his supply chain and
rivals slowly gnawing at his market share, the U.S. business
started bringing down the company's stock value and by 1977 the
board of directors forced Mr.
LOEB to step down as a chairman.
It was a devastating blow and Mr.
LOEB sold his shares. For a
time, he dabbled in politics, briefly accepting a nomination
as the Liberal candidate in the Ottawa-Carleton riding for the
1979 federal election. In an unexpected move, Mr.
LOEB withdrew,
blaming a bleeding ulcer, but at the time some Liberal Party
members gave a different version of events. They said Mr.
LOEB
wanted a cabinet portfolio and Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau
refused to make promises.
Mr. LOEB never returned to politics. Instead, he made a comeback
in business. In the early 1980s, one of his former employees
asked him to invest in a chain of gas stations called Sunys Petroleum.
His new project started off with a handful of locations and quickly
grew to 250 stations in Ontario and Quebec. "He just couldn't
sit back and do nothing," Ms.
LOEB said. "He was just not capable
of that."
Mr. LOEB successfully steered Sunys until 1996, when he finally
retired at 80 yet continued to make discreet and careful donations.
His most recent was a 2002 bequest of $1-million to the Bertram
Loeb Organ-Tissue Institute at the University of Ottawa.
Bertram LOEB was born in Ottawa on February 6, 1916. He died
in Ottawa on September 11, 2006, from multiple myeloma. He is
survived by his two daughters, Naomi and Diana, by his grand_son
Samuel, and by his brothers Jules and David.
