Schoenbaum had planned to make Shoney's public 1969 or 1970, but with the sharp decline in the market those years, he decided instead to merge with Danner, who was the second-largest Shoney's franchisee in number of units. Shoney's stock, sold over-the-counter, is now selling in the $15 range, down from its high of $21, but up from its record low (when listed as Danner Foods) of $7.50 in May 1970. After Danner, Schoenbaum is the next largest stockholder. The stock recently split 3-for-2, putting 450,000 shares in the hands of stockholders other than Danner and Schoenbaum.

Although Danner is the largest stockholder of Shoney's, Schoenbaum is the largest operator of Shoney's Restaurants. As a franchise, he controls Shoney's South which operates 34 outlets in seven Southern states, including Georgia. Schoenbaum, the rounder of the Shoney's, says the reason for the chain's success so far is "We give them a $5 atmosphere for a $1 price." But probably the major reason is that Shoney's had a good head start before 1969 and 1970 when such Johnnys-come-lately as Joe Namath's and Minnie Pearl's fell by the wayside. The first Shoney's, under that name, appeared in 1950 in Charleston, W.Va. By the late 1960s, Shoney's restaurants were almost as common around the South as Howard Johnson's or Holidays Inns.

SHONEY'S started out as a small restaurant Schoenbaum established in 1947 named Parkette. But he didn't trademark the name, and when he started to expand, he found the name Parkette was in use elsewhere. So, learning from experience, he came up with the name Shoney's and registered it as a trademark. Although Schoenbaum founded Shoney's, he is no longer the major stockholder of Shoney's Big Boy Enterprises. That distinction goes to Ray L.

Danner, of Nashville, president of Shoney's, who owns more than 40 per cent of the company's stock Danner became the major stockholder of Shoney's earlier this year when his previous firm, Danner Foods, merged with Shoney's Big Boy Enterprises. Danner operated 17 Shoney's restaurants at the time of the merger. DANNER HAD begun in 1959 with one Shoney franchise. To the merger 12 years later, he bought 16 more Shoney's restaurants, plus Danner Restaurants, Mr. D's Seafood units, and Kentucky Fried Chicken outlets.

By GENE THARPE Conslllntloo Business Editor The next time the wife fusses about buying groceries and slaving over a hot stove all the time, ask her the following questions: What would she do if she daily had to buy, cook and serve 12 tons of hamburger patties, one ton cf fish, and approximately 9,500 loaves of bread? Ad what would she do if she had to do the same with 3,074,330 buns weekly and 175,000 strawberry pies each year? Before she runs away, calm her soul by telling her you're not really that hungry. But tell her that the Danner Foods division of Shoney's Big Boy Enterprises, wrestles with that amount of food all the time. AND IF the company's plans for future growth work out, there will be even more Big Boys waiting in the corner. Alex Schoenbaum, Shoney's chairman, said recently in Atlanta that the fast-food restaurant chain would probably be opening about 20 stores per year for the next five years. This would be an expansion of about 70 per cent, since there are now 140 Shoney's in 10 Southern states.

A good deal of that expansion will be in Georgia, Schoenbaum indicated. "Georgia is one of our most lucrative states," he said. Atlanta, with eight Shoney's, is second only to Nashville, as a Shoney city. Shoney's, unlike many fast-food operations, has prospered in recent years. For the nine months of fiscal 1971, the company's net earnings amounted to $1.2 million, or 76 cents per share against 60 cents per share a year ago.

FOR THE fiscal year ended Oct. 31, Shoney's is expecting per-share net earnings in the $1 to $1.05 range.

Officials stress that nothing of substance was agreed upon, that the only accord was on an agenda or program of work. The prevailing view is that the odds are still strongly against any agreement before the end of the year.

London has been afraid that monetary reform would get hopelessly snarled if a single negotiation tried to embrace all these matters. Finally, the British think they see some give in Connal-ly's first demand for a $13 billion swing in the American payments balance. London believes that Washington would accept a new set of exchange rates that would produce less than this huge amount.

Lanier Ave. Fnyetteville, Ga. 30214 Decatur. 289-9335 aoTot mnkwm Micon-Savannah-Smyrni THE BRITISH take their chief comfort from what they view as a more flexible position by the United States. After the mid-September meeting of finance ministers in London, officials here gloomily concluded that Treasury Secretary John Con-nally was a prickly, abrasive man with whom it would be difficult to do business.

But now they think Connally is a horse trader as well as a tough poker player. More specifically, British, money managers conclude that the United States is not irrevocably committed to a $35 an ounce price for gold and could be induced to raise it. It is understood that neither the United States devalues or other countries upvalue is of virtually no economic significance. But a higher gold price is seen as a considerable political plus here, in Japan and on the continent. OFFICIALS here are also pleased because the Americans are now talking about creating lower barriers against their goods and shar- than Tokyo was first mentioning.

But there is no sign yet of substantial concessions by the British and other Europen nations to bring about the necessary package of exchange rates. Indeed, Britain like the rest of Europe is crying poor mouth, saying that everybody else's currency must be upvalued briskly against the dollar but not mine. At the IMF meeting, Anthony Barber, chancellor of the Exchequer, painted a picture in which Britain's fat surplus would disappear as recovery sucked in imports and membership in the Common Market raised their costs. This was a thinly disguised plea to permit managers here to keep a lid on the exchange value of the pound. Borft endup with the hammock and no trees.
