Ho was bankrupt after a j'legal battle lasting six month. Clnrence Saunders tht-n made his now famous prophecy: j "in inree years i win nave maue three million doljars. I rtiii make a million dollars easily." Hfi wan laughed at. But today Saunders has eomplei--ed contracts for stores in 7 ciihs. They will be scattered from J-os Angelea to Miami, 1alla.i to St. Louis.. He is operating mores In ten towns, and cities outside of Memphis, where hia eight parent stores are flourishing. .

' "In two more years I will have made that three million dollars," Saunders said. "By tho time T am 60 I will have made JoOO.OOu.OfiO." . He said It with all the calmness with which he had formerly ne gotiated $5,0(10.000 dm Is for Plg Kly Wigejy. He seemed to believe he would do it. "It's easy," he said. "I am suc ceeding nt a faster rate than I puld were I Mill head of Piggly Wlggly. By 1950 1 will be ten times as great success as I would it I had not experienced reverses In my fortune." A contest Is 8ounders' greatest delight. As a boy, he snys he wai "against everything," although ex tremely sensitive. He Ls at ill oom hatatlve. He loves football, wrestling-, tennis, boxing and the other hardier sports. His keenest de light Is In meeting the other fel low on even grounds and oiitman euverlng him. Saunders says that he hart never asked advice of; anyone. He has not learned to be dependent. Ho refuses to accept Christmas LgirXa, or. . birthday . un-scnOu ..Uo never gives them. He lias never .written a Christmas onrd. .He pre fers to get for himself thp.se .things that he wants. And ye he is not a money-seek er.

Saunders" philosophy is largely a, "rolj your own" attitude toward ti)lnga in genera). Ho never ac cepts, or rejects a man on another's recommendation,' He doesn't read recommendations, anyway, he says. ' Ijc silently "cusses out", himself more frequently than he chidea any employe. He tries to tear dpwn hU own Ideas b,elore, he puts theni" Into effe.ct. He never tells Jokes becou-te he doea not' remember them long enough to repent them, and he has no time for originating them.'

A summary of Habson's eon rluslon on these three states is as follows; . "Turn for California the hetter after an interval - of quietness. Husiness In California is as good a sever, and building is morn ex tensive than usual this season. Highway construction In also hold ing up and there Is no more un employment In California than In other states. Most sections of the state claim a good tourist bus iness, notwithstanding the 'disap pointment which many tourists had last winter owing to the snows nnd general cold snap. Statistics, however, do show that tho incre ase in the tourist business from year to year has been slightly retarded during the present sea son. This may be dun to the fact that the Deonle of the coun- as formerly, and it may be ,iu0 to , other causes. It also ;-hould be remembered that great financial boom which California has had during the pat few years has largely been due to the oil situation. Owing to the re cent low price of petroleum, new wells are not driven as they have been in the past, and some wells have been shut down. There fore, California is not now re ceiving the huge sums for oil that it received dining previous years, altho even now about 600, 000 barrels a day are being pro duced. . Most of California's bus iness barometers average about the same' as year ago. or almost any other state, this would be very satisfactory; but unless California's are showing an in crease every and every month, they are not 'satisfied! 1 Altho fundamentally los Angeles still shows a greater percentage of growth than San Franctso, yet compared with a year San "Franc-; iseo la showing up slightly better thun Los Angeles, In amount, of tualneiH. Of the smaller,, cities Uakersfield, Santa Barbara, and San Jose make a fairly favorable; showing. Oregon 'Some recession still apparent In common with some of, the other Pacific localities, Oregon allow a some let-up In the. miirkct acti vity of the past few years. This, however, In only healthy and nor mal, as the accelerated growth which the Coast has witnessed cannot continue Indefinitely. Notwithstanding this let-down, building is still very active in nearly all sections of; the state. This applies not only to highway work, but to Industrial nnd, re sidential building. Probably Oregon and Washington show the greatest percent of the Industrial building of any of the states' in the country. All plants are being operated and a large number of mills and factories are runntnfr on fairly active schedules. Salem shows up the best compared, with a year ago.

The employ ment' situation is also quieter, al tho statistics show very little un employment. People go to Cal ifornia for Ihe climate hoping to (ret employment. but 4'ew go to Vgon ond Washington without having a position before they u ve their home in the Kast or Central West. Therefore, con ditions are healthy even tho quiet. Washington "Recent dulleness gives way to moderate improvement. Wash ington, like Oregon, Is still pros pering from large building acti vity. Moreover, this includes in dustrial and residential building, with not so much speculative building as has hen true In oher sort ions. 1'nsettled weather con ditions, however, have recently caused a shut-down in certain projeots, and a slowing-up of work on other. : There seems to be more employment in Wash ington at the moment than in either California or Oregon. The lumber districts, however are still busy. Of the principal cit these statistics I take the follow ing factors ihto consideration: ies of Was in gt on, Tacoma is show ing up best statistically compared with u year ago, . altho Seattle.' us ho w.i almost us great a gain.

Although a fairly good fruit crop was harvested in most instances, prices in many cases were not satisfactory.
