JOHN WATERHOUSE, Corporation Manager. A representative of the third generation 
of his family in Hawaii, John Waterhouse, vice-president and manger of 
Alexander & Baldwin, Ltd., sugar factors, shippers and commission merchants, 
began his business career in Honolulu in 1896. Like his father and grandfather 
before him, he has been identified with the commercial progress of the city 
and Territory.
  Mr. Waterhouse is the son of the late John Thomas Waterhouse and a grandson 
of J. T. Waterhouse, Sr., who was an early settler in Hawaii, coming to the 
islands from Tasmania in 1851. The founder of the Waterhouse family in Hawaii 
engaged in the mercantile business at Lahaina, Maui, and later removed to 
Honolulu, where he established a similar enterprise which was carried on, in 
turn, by his sons and his grandsons.
  John Waterhouse, returning to Hawaii from college in 1896, first became 
associated with the business that had been his father’s. Three years later, in 
1899, he joined Bishop & Co., bankers, and remained there until 1901, when he 
began his long association with Alexander & Baldwin, Ltd., then recently 
incorporated. He rose to be a vice-president of the corporation and in 1918, 
upon the death of the late Joseph Platt Cooke, was chosen manager.
  Born in Honolulu, Nov. 20, 1873, the son of John Thomas, Jr., and Elizabeth 
B. (Pinder) Waterhouse, Mr. Waterhouse attended Honolulu schools and was 
graduated from Punahou in 1892. He received his A. B. degree from Princeton 
University in 1896.
  He married Martha M. Alexander, daughter of the late Samuel T. Alexander, at 
Oakland, Calif., Feb. 6, 1900. They are the parents of six children, Martha 
M., John T., Wallace A., Richard S., Alexander C. and Montague B. Waterhouse. 
Mr. Waterhouse is a member of the Pacific, Commercial and Oahu Country Clubs.
