John Johnson, who has been employed in Kankakee for several years past, will open a grocery store in the building recently vacated by Frank L. Mosher. He expects to start business as soon as he can get the decorating and repairing of the building completed. At present the store building is undergoing a complete transformation and when it opens for business it will hardly be recognizable as the same building.
Mr. Johnson does not come to us as an entire stranger. During the past several years he has spent much time in Roberts. Although he has been working in Kankakee, his vacations and other spare time has given him opportunity to meet many Roberts people. His wife is the former Miss Kathryn Dilks of Roberts and she, having lived here since 1912 until the time of her marriage thus grown up in this vicinity, has many friends here who will give her and her husband a hearty welcome.
Mr. Johnson will open the store with a complete line of groceries, meats, etc. and will receive a good share of the business.
