ALBERT PIERRE FRIGON.
Various corporate interests have felt the stimulus of the
cooperation and enterprising spirit of Albert Pierre Frigon,
who today stands in a prominent place on the stage of financial
activity in Montreal, his native city. He was born on the 14th
of June, 1872, a son of Benjamin and Philomene (Cassan) Frigon,
the former a general contractor for more than thirty years. Both
he and his wife are still living. The ancestors of the family
were all from France and the genealogy can be traced back to the
fifteenth century.
Albert P. Frigon was educated in the Catholic commissioner’s
school, Archambault’s, where he was graduated with the class
of 1888. Crossing the threshold of business life, he became
bookkeeper for P. P. Mailloux, a hardware merchant on St. Paul
Street in Montreal, with whom he remained for thirteen years, his
capability and fidelity being attested by his long connection
with the house. He resigned in 1901 to become business and
financial manager for the Seminary of St. Sulpice of Montreal
and in the intervening years to the present his activities
have constantly broadened in scope and importance. He is now a
controlling figure in various corporate interests and has large
investments in others. At the present writing he is a member of
the firm of St. Cyr, Gonthier & Frigon, bankers and brokers,
is vice president of Viauville Lands, Ltd., president of the
Star Realty Company, president of the Compagnie Immobilière
d’Outre-Mer, president of the Canadian Siegwart Beam Company
of Three Rivers, vice president of the New Ontario Oil &
Gas Company, Ltd., president of the Société de Construction
Lafontaine, president of the executive board of the General
Animals Insurance Company, president l’Immobilière du Canada,
vice president of the France-Canada Company, president of St.
Francis-Valley Railway Company and president of the St. Francis
Construction Company. This recital of his connections indicates
clearly the breadth of his interests and of his capabilities. In
various companies he is bending his energies to administrative
direction and executive control and he possesses notable power
in unifying and coordinating seemingly diverse elements into a
harmonious and resultant whole. His opinion upon complex and
involved financial problems is ever accepted with respect and
consideration by those well qualified to judge thereof. He is
the vice president of the General Trust Company of Canada,
president of Comité de Surveillance Caisse Nationale d’Economie
and is a member of the board of La Chambre de Commerce of
Montreal.
