Did you know that Ernest Hemingway, reporting from the 1922 Genoa Conference, described the head of Canada's delegation as "a little ill at ease"?
Sir Charles Blair Gordon (22 November 1867 – 30 July 1939) was a Canadian industrialist and banker. Starting as a dry-goods clerk in Montreal, he built the Standard Shirt Company into a large clothing manufacturer supplying much of the Canadian market, helped found Dominion Textile in 1905 and served as its president for most of the period from 1909 until his death, by which time it was Canada's dominant cotton-textile producer. He also organized the Dominion Glass Company in 1913 and headed Penmans and Montreal Cottons, and was president of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association in 1913–14.
