THRIFTY FARMER COUNTY MERCHANT

R. C. Roberts of Chambersville Owns Improved Farm.

Courier Gazette
August 12, 1922

The editor recently visited briefly at the country store of R. C. Roberts, located on the Chambersville pike, 7 miles north of McKinney. Mr. Roberts has an excellent stand for a rural store, in the forks of two public roads. In addition to his general stock of merchandise, he sells ice, cold drinks and has a custom mill in a room adjoining his store. He grinds meat and makes chops for his neighbors, putting up his meal in twenty-five pound bags, labeled with his own name and brand. Mr. Robert's store is located only a few hundred feet from his modern new farm home, located on a choice fifty-two acre tract of land. Mr. Roberts has been a regular subscriber and patron of the Daily Courier-Gazette for several years. He is intelligent, ambitious, industrious and enterprising and deserves a large measure of success.
