Spent Money Like Water.
When Mr.. Saunders had money
he spent it like water. He put
81 million in houses alone, two
OF which are now Memphis
landmarks.
The first had the city's first
swimming pool. It's now the
plush University Club. The sec
ond, in which he never spent a
night. is the 22-room Pink
Palace" made of pink stone from
Georgia. 1t is now a museum
and No. tourist attraction.
Mr.. Saunders, who lived in a
modest suburban home, often
drove by these places, but eyed
them without regret.
He was fond of the palace and
would say: IF I never did any,
thing else, there's that. It'll be
there as long as the pyramids
stand"
He lost the palace along with
the Piggly Wiggly stores.
Mr.. Saunders, a native of Am
herst County, Virginia, was one
of six children. He said his
father was a real. high-hying
Virginia gentleman" who Lived

Inc need to win his way in the
world forced MI. Saunders to
quit his month job in a

a dollar a day.
At his first opportunity. how
ever, he left the mine to return

Clarence Saunders, Originator
OF Supermorket Idea, Is Dead.
One-Time CIerkMude
And Lost z Fortunes;
Planned q Comeback
BY the Associated Press

MEMPHIS. Oct. 15-Clarence
Saunders, 72, who revoluntion-
lied the grocery business with
his Piggly Wiggly stores and
twice made and lost a fortune,
died yesterday in the midst of
plans for a comeback.
He had been critically i'll for
two weeks. Death was attributed
to a heart attack.
Mr.. Saunders, who started his
grocery career as a $4-a-month
clerk, originated today's super
markets 36 years ago with his
Piggly Wiggly Corp, which grew
to ST million chain with stores
in hundreds of cities through
out the country.
Lost Wall Street Fight.
He lost the chain in his spec
tacular, but disastrous "one-man
battle" with Wall Street in 1923.
With what personal assets he
was able to salvage from the
wreckage of this huge corpo-
ration, he soon established sec
ond large retail grocery chain
known as Clarence Saunders.
Sole Owner of My Name"
Successful for several years,
this enterprise folded during
the depression after squab-
BILE between Mr.. Saunders and
his hackers.
Mr.. Saunders next undertak-
ing was the "Keedoozle" stores
an automatic, electrically op-
Grated type of retail grocery
which he launched in 1945.
The "Keedoozle" stores con-
tinued for several years until
the automatic devices proved
too complicated and too expen-
sive to compete with the lesser
cost of regular store clerks.
Planned New Grocery.
Mr.. Saunders recently an
nounced plans for a mechanical
grocery which he believed would
put him hack in the million
dollar class within a year"
The newest Store-the Food
electric"-was to be completely
self-service with customers noC
only sacking their own grocer
les but also adding UP the bill
with a machine a bit smaller
than a package of cigarettes.
He had hoped to put the
"Foodelectric" into operation
last month, but illness delayed
his plans.
Mr.. Saunders, a small man,
fairly cracked with energy. His
thatch of snowy hair contrasted
