Mr. Roberson, whose likeness we herewith produce needs no introduction on the part of the Times as he is favorably known to all of our citizens.
Mr. Roberson was born at Henrietta, Tex., August 28 1887. When but a lad he moved with his parents to Wichita Falls, Texas entering the school there and graduated with high honors in the Wichita Falls Business College on May 12, 1905. He immediately came to Texico and engaged in business under the firm name of Hopping & Roberson, Dec. 4, 1905. He remained with the firm of Hopping-Roberson Mercantile Co. last year when he was elected to the responsible position of Secretary and Treasurer of the company, which position he holds at present.
Mr. Roberson is a striking example of what a young man of energy and adaptation to business can attain, having risen rapidly to the responsible position he now holds.
Socially Mr. Roberson is a young man well liked by all his many friends and acquaintances, and especially esteemed by men in business, who by business relations come in contact with him. Truthfully we can say that should all of our young men devote themselves to business with the energy as has Mr. Roberson, the age of young men would be an age to be looked upon with pride and praise.
Certainly we are to be congratulated upon having young men like Mr. Roberson to live and mingle with us in the daily walk of life.
