  • John Wesley Berry (1857 – August 13, 1931) was an American pioneer, businessman, and politician from Tacoma, Washington. His main business was flour and cereal production. Berry built the first oat and cereal mill of the west in Tacoma and established the Cascade Cereal Company, the second-most successful mill in the city. An experienced mechanic, Berry invented and patented the split pulley. He co-founded the Deming-Berry Company, which specialized in mechanical supplies manufacturing. Both of Berry's companies supplied their products to a number of state institutions, including schools and hospitals. Berry was a trustee and vice president of the Bank of Tacoma and incorporator of the Tacoma Brick Company and Sumner Grain & Milling Company. At the pinnacle of his political career in 1892–93, Berry was a Tacoma Councilman, losing this position after a water-plant purchase controversy. He also served as a superintendent and teacher at the Washington State Sunday School. In 1903, the Cascade Cereal Company and Deming-Berry Company were destroyed by fire, resulting in damages not fully covered by insurance. Berry lost his management positions in both companies. Later in his life, he worked as an insurance agent. (en)
