Download or read book Clarence Saunders the Founding of Piggly Wiggly written by Mike Freeman and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2019-10-07 with total page 185 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The life and career—including both the highs and the lows—of the visionary businessman who started the iconic supermarket chain. The grocery business began as a complicated service industry. Random pricing, inconsistent quantities and prescriptive salesmen made grocery shopping burdensome. It took one brash Memphian with uncommon vision and unbridled ambition to change everything. Clarence Saunders worked his way out of poverty and obscurity to found Piggly Wiggly in 1916. With an unprecedented approach, he virtually invented the concept of the modern self-service grocery store. Stores flourished, franchises spread, and Saunders made millions. Yet just as the final bricks of Pink Palace—his garish marble mansion—were being laid, Saunders went bankrupt, and he was forced to sell Piggly Wiggly. A variety of new ventures helped Saunders out of bankruptcy, but he never duplicated his prior success. Memphis historian Mike Freeman tracks the remarkable life of this retail visionary.

And Coldwater Cove has its share of warts! But while this cozy corner of the world is home to just about anyone who wants to put down roots, the way has been barred to Michael Evans. Mike's dad saw to that some ten years ago when he ordered him to leave town and never come back.

Long-legged Heather has had a love/hate relationship with the town bad boy ever since he christened her “Stilts” in middle school. She was voted most likely to succeed. Michael seemed destined for the state pen. Even so, she hopes there's more to him than leathers and a Harley, for his family's sake if nothing else.

Download or read book My Fractured Mind written by Saundra Akers and published by A Mysterious Ohio. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a composite of short pieces of writing that were inspired by writing prompts. When writing to a prompt it is amazing what the writer will come up with on a given day. The same prompt given a week later might have an entirely different result. Our minds have so many hidden thoughts and ideas that might never come to light without these little prods to our subconscious. The author has chosen to express these thoughts in short stories, articles, and in poetry form. It's not just that the ideas are different on different days but the form in which the writer will choose to express the idea is also different. I hope you will enjoy these fractured pieces of my mind.
