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. The Millionair Club still serves Seattle's unemployed with meals, clothing, job training, temporary jobs and medical referrals.

This photo, taken in the 1920s, shows Martin Johanson sweeping the steps of the original Millionair Club on Seattle's Main Street. Johanson 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.
