GEORGE STANLEY MCKENZIE, Business Executive. As a former president of the 
Honolulu Chamber of Commerce, Retail Board of Trade, Rotary and Ad Clubs, and 
chairman of the Hawaii Tourist Bureau for three years, G. Stanley McKenzie, 
manager of the Honolulu Dairymen’s Association, has been a recognized and 
active leader in community development work, in the building of home 
industries and in the promotion of tourist travel.
  Coming to Honolulu from San Francisco in Dec., 1913, for a short vacation, 
Mr. McKenzie was induced to remain here as manager of Love’s Biscuit & Bread 
Co., a position he held until April 1, 1925, when he resigned to assume his 
present post. During his connection with Love’s Biscuit & Bread Co., two new 
bakeries were built and the business expanded from a daily output of 1200 
loaves of bread to 15,000. Also handling crackers, biscuits and sweets, the 
firm now operates the largest bakery business in the Territory.
  While Mr. McKenzie was chairman of the Hawaii Tourist Bureau, the 
legislature increased its appropriation from $18,000 a year to $100,000 and 
the merchants of Hawaii agreed to pay a voluntary tonnage tax of seven and one-
half cents a ton on all incoming merchandise, the revenue to be used for the 
exploitation of Hawaii throughout the world.
  Mr. McKenzie is a director of Love’s Biscuit & Bread Co., managing director 
and secretary of the Honolulu Paper Co., a concern he helped organize; vice-
president of the Honolulu chapter, Boy Scouts of America, and was acting 
chairman of the Territorial Fleet Committee, appointed to plan for the 
entertainment of the United States battle fleet in April, 1925, and chairman 
of the men’s division for the Y.W.C.A. drive to raise $350,000 for a new 
building. He is an Elk, Mason, Shriner and a member of the Commercial, Rotary, 
Ad, Auto, Oahu Country, Outrigger Canoe and Myrtle Boat Clubs, Y.M.C.A., 
Hawaiian Chapter of the National Aeronautic Association, and the National 
Council of Boy Scouts.
  Before coming to Honolulu Mr. McKenzie spent four years with the Bass-Heuter 
Paint Co. in San Francisco and four years with the McKinlay-Perkins Paint and 
Varnish Co. in Oakland. His first position after leaving school was that of 
private secretary to the late Congressman Duncan E. McKinlay of California.
  Mr. McKenzie was born in Monticello, Calif., Oct. 19, 1886, the son of 
George Simon and Alice M. (Clark) McKenzie. He was educated at the Napa High 
School and Napa Business College. In 1908 he married Myrtle V. Dunn of Napa 
and they had one daughter, Alice Naville McKenzie, now at school on the 
mainland. In 1915 he married Fanny Isabelle Hoogs of Honolulu and they have 
four children, George Stanley, Jr., Walter Love, Norma Louise and Donald Ward 
McKenzie.
