REGINALD STUART RIDEOUT.
 

	Reginald Stuart Rideout, manager of the Western Trust Company,
has been active in financial circles in Regina since 1912, when he first
came to this city. The son of Job and Emma (Bonnell) Rideout, he was
born in Rose Blanche, Newfoundland, on the 19th of January, 1889. The
father was a native of Harbor Lecou and the mother of Petites, New-
foundland, in which latter place they were married and spent their early
life together on that island. In 1909 they moved to British Columbia,
where Mr. Rideout engaged in mercantile pursuits.  They now live in
Victoria, and are devout members of the Anglican church, in which the
father, especially, takes a deep interest. He is a Liberal in politics and
follows public affairs closely. Reginald S. Rideout was the second child
in a family of six, four of whom are living. He was educated in the
public schools of Rose Blanche and St. Bonaventure College at St. Johns,
Newfoundland.
	After completing his college course, Mr. Rideout began to learn the
banking business in the branch of the Bank of Montreal in Chatham,
New Brunswick. Later he worked for the same bank in Halifax and
Montreal, remaining in its employ for a total period of five years. It
was to accept a position with the Dominion Trust Company of Vancouver
that he resigned from the Bank of Montreal in 1908, and spent three
years with the Dominion Trust Company in Vancouver.  In 1912 he
came to Regina as accountant for the Dominion Trust Company, in the
Regina Qffice and a year later was promoted to the post of assistant
manager. He established his connection with the Western Trust Com-
pany in the fall of 1914, going into its organization in this city as man-
ager and has held that office ever since. The business of this company
is chiefly the administration of estates. Mr. Rideout is a young man to
be filling so responsible a position, but he possesses a natural aptitude
for the work and a soundness of judgment that might well be envied by
an older and more experienced man.
	On the 20th of December, 1915, Mr. Rideout was married to Miss
Gladys Shaw, daughter of James Patterson Shaw, a member of the
liquor commission of Regina.  Mrs. Rideout was born in Toronto, but
was educated in this city. Both Mr. and Mrs. Rideout are members of
St. Paul's Anglican church and have been active in church work. For
five years Mr. Rideout was rector's warden. ~He represents the trust
business in the Kiwanis Club, of which he is a charter member and served
on its first board of directors. His political allegiance is given to the
Liberal party and fraternally he is affiliated with the Knights of Pythias,
while his clubs are the Assiniboia and Wascana Clubs. Golf is his favor-
ite sport and he enjoys a game every time he can get away from the
cares and duties of his business. Mr. Rideout has great faith in the
future of Regina and Saskatchewan and is doing all that lies within his
power to promote their growth and prosperity.
