Īccording to John Brooks, Piggly Wiggly's "greatly changed corporate structure. However, he remained interested in automated shopping, with which he experimented initially with the Keedoozle store until he died in 1953. Īfter losing control of Piggly Wiggly, Saunders had no further association with the company. ![]() In 1935, all 179 Canadian Piggly Wiggly were also sold to Canada Safeway, which merged with Sobeys in 2013. įollowing these events, the company was divided into strategic units, which were sold to regional grocery chains, including Kroger, Safeway, National Tea, and Colonial. Saunders reputedly lost $9 million in the attempted corner. The Stock Exchange Governors responded by deciding that a corner had been established in Piggly Wiggly and removed the stock from the Board, eventually forcing Saunders to turn over his assets to the banks that had financed his leveraged position. In November 1922, Saunders attempted a squeeze on the substantial short interest in the stock, running the share price up from 40 to 120 and profiting by millions on paper. At its peak in 1932, the company operated 2,660 stores and posted annual sales in excess of $180 million. The success of Piggly Wiggly was phenomenal, and other independent and chain grocery stores changed to self-service in the 1920s and 1930s. In 1937, Piggly Wiggly became the first company to provide shopping carts for customers, in their Oklahoma branch they were also the first company to use point of sale lanes for payment. The original Piggly Wiggly Store, Memphis, Tennessee, 1918 Instantly, packaging and brand recognition became important to companies and consumers alike. The customers selected merchandise as they continued through the maze to the cashier. Customers at Piggly Wiggly entered the store through a turnstile and walked through four aisles to view the 605 items sold in packages and organized into departments. The concept of the "self-serving store" was patented by Saunders in 1917. Piggly Wiggly Corporation secured the self-service format and issued franchises to hundreds of grocery retailers to operate its stores. Others were initially experimenting with this format, which came to be known as a "groceteria", reminding people of cafeterias, another relatively new, self-service idea. Losses due to easier shoplifting were more than offset by profits from increased impulse purchasing. ![]() Piggly Wiggly introduced the innovation of allowing customers to go through the store, gathering their goods, thus cutting costs and lowering prices. This created greater costs and higher prices. Instead, a customer would give a list of items to a clerk, who would then collect them throughout the store. A replica of the original store has been constructed in the Memphis Pink Palace Museum and Planetarium, a mansion that Saunders built as his private residence, which was later sold to the city.Īt the time of its founding, grocery stores did not allow customers to gather their goods. It was founded on Septem (although it did not open until five days later due to delays in construction), at 79 Jefferson Avenue in Memphis, Tennessee, by Clarence Saunders.

In addition, they reset the clock from 2.1 seconds to 3.0 seconds.īutler made all three free throws to give the Heat a 103-102 lead, but the Celtics still had three seconds to attempt a game-winner. First of all, they realized both of Butler's feet were behind the 3-point line at the time of contact, giving him three free throws instead of two. However, the refs did make a few adjustments after going to the monitor. The Celtics challenged the call out of desperation, but it was clearly a foul on Horford, so that was upheld. It appeared, however, that he was about to run out of time and was on the verge of launching up a prayer when he was fouled by Al Horford. Butler, as expected, took control of the situation and tried to make a play. The Celtics were clinging to a two-point lead with less than 20 seconds to play, and the Heat had the ball. Let's break it down.įirst, let's set the stage pre-White shot. It's a strange situation where fans from both teams have a case to feel cheated and lucky at the same time. Including: was there too much time put back on the clock after Jimmy Butler was fouled in the waning seconds? And did Butler get away with a double-dribble before he was fouled?

Stephen Curry, the Warriors' point guard, is the reigning Finals MVP. Forward Nikola Jokic is the reigning MVP of the season, where he won for the second time in a row. The Warriors finished in third place in the Western Conference, passing the Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies, and Dallas Mavericks in the postseason to win the tournament. The defending champions of the league is the Golden State Warriors, where they defeated the Boston Celtics 4-2 in the final. LeBron James, still active, has four awards.

The 'interior truck' should NOT be thinking of pulling ceiling straight down dropping debris on top of everyone, but angling the pole to drop ceiling ahead of their position. The 6-foot pole might work in a certain type of building with 8-foot ceilings, but when dealing with higher ceilings in such buildings as commercial, institutional, office, or industrial it should be obvious that 8-foot and even 10-foot poles need be used.The firefighter working as the 'interior truck' should be trained on selecting the right type of pole or hook for the type of building being entered: The next thing he remembered was being picked up from the hallway floor after the engine company crawled over him to knock down heavy fire in the room he had just pulled ceiling in - a concealed space backdraft had occurred. As he had entered the room he was ordered to pull the ceiling. In an old plaster and lath ordinary constructed apartment building the nozzle was positioned the hallway and the smoke pushing from the ceiling of an adjoining room was unusual. Retired Chicago FD District Chief Bennie Crane relates that experience as a firefighter on a truck company. ![]() Situations have occurred were concealed space backdrafts have resulted when the 'interior truck' has opened up ceiling and wall spaces.Should the firefighter need to be protected from falling ceiling and concealed space fire that is released that starts to rapidly spread, the stream can be operated overhead once the firefighter with the pole quickly turns and moves back several feet out of harms way. The nozzle positioned slightly behind the firefighter pulling ceiling, allows for water protection.In addition, once water is delivered and worked straight up and overhead of the engine company, whatever water drops back down might be scolding. It is important to position the nozzle BEHIND the firefighter with the pike pole! Allowing a firefighter to pull ceiling from behind the nozzle will allow falling ceiling to drop on head of the nozzle position, and the stream protection is limited as the hole would be made directly over the nozzle position.It is understood that generally it is not safe to operate ahead of the nozzle during a fire attack, but it is necessary in this case.It is important that the officer be positioned near the nozzle behind the firefighter about to pull ceiling: Does fire drop through the ceiling as soon it is pulled?.Once a hole has been made, can a "new" push of heat be felt indicating approaching fire?.Did the pole virtually bounce back off the ceiling (maybe indicating tongue and groove)?.Did whole sections of ceiling freely drop?.How difficult was it to break into the ceiling?.That first punch into the ceiling will tell much of the story: ![]() While positioning just several feet ahead of the nozzle, the firefighter starts to punch through the ceiling. Hose stream + ventilation + building construction + conceal space fire + heat conditions = PULL CEILING (fire may be over head!). The officer had started to do some fast and experienced calculation: ![]() Although the heat momentarily lifted, the officer can feel the heat returning to push against them. Now only five feet in the door the engine pauses, and the officer makes a very experienced decision to move up another firefighter just past the nozzle with a pike pole (or plaster hook) to pull ceiling. While slowly advancing low and inward directing the straight stream above and to the rear, the officer can hear the glass breaking and the forcing of the back door. Heat conditions are starting to drop and can be felt pushing from the rear. As FDNY Deputy Chief John Norman has stated time and again, "Vent and ye shall live." It can also be added, "Pull ceiling during the attack, and ye shall live longer & happier."Īs the engine officer finds that the door can be opened easily in this scenario, a heavy push of black smoke about waist level meets the engine. Not to be remiss about roof ventilation, but unfortunately most initial attack staffing levels will not be sufficient for a roof operation, and aggressive horizontal ventilation must take place. A very heavy black push of smoke is pouring from the roof eves indicating some extension into the attic. The size-up has found the fire to be in the rear and it is spreading rapidly. As the first due engine company finishes their hose stretch to the front door of a one-story wood frame constructed house, the hose line is bled of air, and the company officer is preparing for entry. ![]() |
