Title
English: Sign outside Millionair Club offering free Sunday supper, Seattle, ca. 1925
Description
English:

In 1921, Seattle businessman Martin G. Johanson founded The Millionair Club to help the city's unemployed help themselves. Johanson managed the organization which provided nourishing meals and acted as a clearinghouse for temporary jobs. He gave the organization its name because he said that helping others made him feel like a millionaire. He dropped the "e" in the organization's name to keep it from being confused with a prestigious men's club. The Millionair Club still serves Seattle's unemployed with meals, clothing, job training, temporary jobs and medical referrals.
