'Aggressive and very entrepreneurial,' she ranked among Canada's
top Chief Executive Officers
The head of Dover Industries took her company from annual revenues
of $10-million to $228-million. She thought nothing of phoning
federal finance ministers late at night to give them a piece
of her mind
By Ron CSILLAG,
Special to The Globe and Mail, Page S12
Toronto -- Mona
CAMPBELL was 33 years old when her father died
and left behind some companies that milled flour and made ice-cream
cones. She'd been the major shareholder in the businesses, and
stepped into the top executive slot two years later, in 1954,
at a time when women in corporate leadership were unheard of.
Her own father, the wealthy industrialist Frederick
MORROW, "didn't
think women should be doing this sort of thing," Mrs.
CAMPBELL
recalled in a 1986 interview. "To begin with, it was sort of
a question mark, which makes you want to do that much better.
I had no formal training. I had done a lot of work for voluntary
organizations, dealing with budgets, scrounging for money. It's
really the same thing in a small way."
Either she was being coy or very humble. When she took over,
the company had annual revenues of $10-million. Last year, Burlington,
Ontario-based Dover Industries Ltd. had revenues of $228-million
and employed 475 people.
Described as "Canada's first conglomerate," with interests in
paper products, flour milling and straw manufacturing, as well
as the ice-cream-cone business, Dover Industries is today one
of the largest Canadian-owned flour-milling companies in operation.
Mrs. CAMPBELL served as the company's president, chief executive
officer and, until her death, as board chairwoman. In 1976, she
became the first woman elected to the board of Toronto-Dominion
Bank.
Her success belied a view about women in the corporate world
that today could be charitably described as quaint. In a 1980
interview with the Financial Times, Mrs.
CAMPBELL declared that
single women couldn't be depended on in business "because suddenly
romance hits and they marry and maybe their husband moves, so
they move." Married women, meantime, are inflexible and may interrupt
their careers to have children.
Besides, few women crave the power that comes with the position,
she believed. "The majority of women are not interested."
A lot of them feel they just don't need the extra hassle, she
told The Globe and Mail the year before. "They are willing to
do a great job but I don't know how many more want the added
responsibility of representing shareholders." She did not foresee
other women serving on her company's board. "One's enough."
She chafed at being called an industrialist. "This is just a
job," she said in 1968. "It's not that difficult."
Mrs. CAMPBELL travelled the world and gave away millions of dollars
to the arts, notably to the Royal Ontario Museum, where there's
a curatorship in her name, and the National Ballet School in
Toronto since its inception in 1959. "She knew every student
by name," said the National Ballet School's artistic director
and co-Chief Executive Officer, Mavis
STAINES, who added that
Mrs. CAMPBELL often took students to her sprawling Mohill Farm
in Puslinch, Ontario, for weekends spent frolicking with her
beloved dogs and horses. Ballet, Mrs.
CAMPBELL once declared,
"is the love of my life."
She was named to the Order of Canada in 1996. In 2001, the Association
of Fundraising Professionals honoured her as its outstanding
philanthropist of the Year.
She was an only child born into privilege. Her father was a financier
who founded the Essa Securities Company, sat on the boards of
15 corporations and amassed a large fortune. He started Dover
Industries in 1940 by acquiring and merging three companies -
a flour mill, a grain dealer and Robinson Cone, which made ice-cream
cones, straws and packaging materials in Hamilton.
A devout Catholic who scandalously married the daughter of a
Baptist minister, Mr.
MORROW donated a large tract of land in
Toronto's north to the Sisters of Saint_Joseph. Morrow Park opened
in 1960 and today has an infirmary, residences, a girls' school,
and a retreat where Pope John Paul stayed during his 2002 visit
to Toronto for World Youth Day.
Mrs. CAMPBELL's first marriage was in 1940 to John
BAND, a dashing
navy officer who hunted U-boats during the Second World War and
became an insurance executive and collector of Canadian art.
They cut glamorous figures in society and had three children
before going through an acrimonious divorce in 1955.
In 1960, she married Jim
BINNIE, father of Ian
BINNIE, a justice
on Canada's Supreme Court. That, too, ended in divorce. Finally,
in 1967, she married Lieutenant-Colonel Kenneth
CAMPBELL, a career
army man who once authored a scathing report from the Korean
front that described the venerable Lee-Enfield.303 rifle as "almost
useless." He operated a farm near Guelph that raised cattle and
thoroughbreds, and died in 1990.
Mrs. CAMPBELL often said she liked people. Her daughter, Sarah
BAND, is more specific: "She loved men."
She loved animals, too, and their welfare was a top priority.
Mrs. CAMPBELL was a leading supporter of the Ontario Humane Society
and was awarded naming rights to an animal adoption centre in
Newmarket, Ontario - Mohill Village. She also endowed the Col.
K.L. Campbell Centre for the Study of Animal Welfare, which promotes
the welfare of animals through research and education, and the
Col. K.L. Campbell Graduate Travel Grant in Equine Studies, both
at the University of Guelph.
She was formal and had an old-world elegance, but lean, angular
features that bespoke a stern countenance. According to her friend
Brenda Nightingale, however, "she was the most generous person
you ever met." Her daughter noted Mrs.
CAMPBELL's fastidious
concern with her appearance: "Every thread on her had to be perfect."
Highly political and a staunch Conservative, she thought nothing
of phoning Michael Wilson, finance minister under Brian Mulroney,
late at night to give him a piece of her mind, Ms. Nightingale
recalled with a laugh.
In business, she was "very aggressive and very entrepreneurial,"
noted Dover Industries' current president and Chief Executive
Officer Howard
ROWLEY. "
She was very willing to reinvest money
back into the company. That's why we've been able to grow at
the rate we have."
Her board approved a plan in 1968 to erect a $2-million flour
mill in Halifax - the first modern flour mill in Nova Scotia
- but rebuffed her move to enter the flour market in Montreal.
"A new flour mill in Montreal 10 years ago would been a howling
success," she insisted at the time.
She oversaw the company's five subsidiaries: Robinson Cone, Cherry
Taylor Flour Mills, Howell Litho and Cartons, Taylor Grain Ltd.
and Dover Mills Ltd. of Halifax. A firm believer in acquisitions,
the company under her hand bought a paper-box concern in 1956
the Howell Lithographic Company in 1960; Bondware, a paper cup
and container firm in 1981; and another flour mill in 2003. The
packaging business was sold in 2005.
Dover Industries was touted as Canada's first diversified company
but was not as diverse as it appeared. The ice-cream cones came
from Cherry Taylor flour and were packed in Howell cartons. Dover
Mills ground the flour from Taylor Grain and shipped them in
packages that were lithographed in-house.
Still, it was a multi-faceted operation and "she could walk out
into the different plants, and she knew most of the people by
name," Mr.
ROWLEY said. "Truck drivers would phone her from their
trucks and talk to her about whatever was on their minds. It
could be work-related or just to say hello. And she'd take the
call."
Mrs. CAMPBELL treated the company as her inheritance. "I thought
I'd have a go at running it," she said in 1968. "My father told
me that I would be all right as long as I had a good lawyer,
a good accountant and a good banker. We've got them and we've
never looked back."
But in case anyone doubted who was in charge, she had this to
say in 1980: "When we go out to buy out a company, I'm the one
that does the deal." She died the day of her company's annual
meeting.
Mona Louise
CAMPBELL was born February 3, 1919, in Toronto. She
died May 29, 2008, of natural causes in Aiken, South Carolina,
where she had lived for several years and where her favourite
activity was a Tuesday-night needlepoint group called Stitch
and Bitch. She was 89. She leaves her children John
BAND,
Sarah▲
BAND and Vicki
McRAE, four grandchildren and one great-granddaughter.

McRAE,
Mary▲
Frances (née
DENHOLM)
Wife, mother, artist, teacher. Born November 10, 1920, in Taipei,
Taiwan. Died January 8 in Nepean, Ontario, of organ failure,
aged 87.
During Mary's funeral service her framed portrait, standing on
a table, spontaneously fell flat with a resounding bang. Everyone
jumped, then laughed. It was a perfect statement of Mary's strong
character - she would have laughed, too.
Mary was born to medical missionary parents Doctor Kenneth and Myrtle
DENHOLM.
They moved to Parry Sound, Ontario, in 1923, where the
family grew to include two brothers and three sisters.
After high school Mary spent two years at the University of Toronto,
but with the Second World War under way, she switched to a secretarial
course and joined the Women's Royal Canadian Naval Service (the
Wrens). Her skills were put to service in the navy offices in
Halifax. (Her husband often joked that during the war Mary was
in much greater danger as a beautiful single woman in Halifax
than he ever was flying fighters overseas.)
At war's end Mary returned to Parry Sound and a job at Canadian
Industries
Ltd. In 1946, Bill
McRAE visited town from another
CIL office. He had seen her photograph in a company publication
and wanted to meet her. Two weeks after they met they were engaged,
and two months later they married. During their 61 years together
they moved with Bill's work from Port Arthur, Ontario, to Vancouver,
Timmins, Ontario, Montreal and Toronto, finally retiring in Nepean.
Mary didn't care much for housekeeping, so once her three children
were in school she registered at Queen's University as a correspondence
student and completed the bachelor's degree she had begun before
the war. She began teaching high school in 1963 and enjoyed teaching
for many years. Spending time with young people seemed to keep
her young at heart.
Mary was active in sewing, needlework of all kinds and painting.
Always whistling or singing, she had a way of making things fun.
She had amazing strength, of both body and spirit. Although sometimes
frustrated with her challenges - she had many operations for
lifelong foot problems and often needed crutches or canes - she
could look beyond the immediate problem toward her goal. Even
in her 70s, after two brain operations for benign tumours, she
never lost her sense of humour and good nature. She worked out
strategies for retraining her memory and helping her read novels
again.
Over the last few years of her life Mary was increasingly crippled
by arthritis and gradually withdrew from social engagements.
But she always appreciated the love and support of her family,
adored her six grandchildren and found something to laugh about
every day of her life.
Marilynn McRae
BEST is Mary's daughter.
