T. JULIAN McGILL (Thomas Julian McGill)
Important business interests claim the attention and profit by the cooperation
of T. Julian McGill, who occupies a foremost position in transportation circles
of the Twin cities and since 1921 has been vice president of the Minneapolis
Street Railway Company. His birth occurred in Leesburg, Virginia, on the 26th of
August, 1877, and his parents, Dr. Samuel and Elizabeth Randolph (Fauntleroy)
McGill,
were also natives of that state, in which the father followed the profession of
medicine. After finishing his public school training Mr. McGill studied for the
electrical engineering degree in Johns Hopkins University, at Baltimore,
Maryland, but met with an accident which prevented him from completing his
course. Later he secured a position with the Siemens & Halske Electric Company
of Chicago, Illinois, with which he remained for four years, serving in the
capacity of sales manager, and in 1898 he came to Minneapolis as manager for the
Westinghouse Electric & Manufacturing Company. He represented that firm in this
city until 1909 and was then made manager for the south, with headquarters at
Atlanta, Georgia, while in 1914 he was sent to Chicago as manager for their
western territory. On the 1st of July, 1921, Mr. McGill assumed the duties of
vice president of the Minneapolis Street Railway Company and he is also vice
president of the Twin City Rapid Transit Company, the Minneapolis & St. Paul
Suburban Railroad Com­pany and other subsidiary companies. He is a capable
executive, farsighted and sagacious, and in handling transportation problems he
brings to bear keen insight and notable administrative powers, which have been
strong factors in promoting the success of the important interests of which he
has charge.
In 1903 Mr. McGill was married to Miss Minnie Shores, a daughter of A. J.
Shores, a prominent attorney of this city, and they have become the parents of
three children: Virginia, Janet and Ann. Mr. McGill is a member of the
Minne­apolis Club, the Minikahda Club, the Minnesota Club, and the Minneapolis
Athletic Club and from 1917 until the close of the World war he served as vice
chairman of the electrical section of the Illinois Safety League. His business
career has been marked by those qualities which are indispensable elements in
the attainment of success and his constantly expanding powers have carried him
into important relations. His labors have contributed materially to the
advancement of the general welfare and by those with whom business or social
relations have brought him into contact he is held in the highest regard.
