Roberts people sometimes complain that Roberts is not a live town and that there is no business energy here. We frequently hear it stated that our merchants ought to do something to keep on the map or people will forget that there is such a place as Roberts.
In a sense that may be true but in a larger sense it is questionable. Roberts merchants could do many things they do not do but when we consider that we have business and professional enterprises h...ere that are not equaled in any other community within fifty miles at least we know that Roberts is still holding a position on the business map of the state.
We have frequently called attention to the wall paper business conducted by Frank Linn. We believe that there is not other Wall Paper Dealer in a town of this size in Illinois which can equal the business he does in wall paper and we would not fear to take in much larger territory and even much larger towns.
Then the Roberts Hospital. From the cars that are parked at the hospital corner every forenoon except Sundays and Wednesdays we know that Roberts is on the professional map of the state of Illinois.
Then there other places of business here which are gaining a reputation as places of much business development.
