ROBESON & BRO

ROBESON'S

A Very Important Place

The sketch at the left shows the original Robeson's at the corner of Church and Neil streets. Since its beginning in 1874 . . . two years be- fore Custer's Last Stand at the Little Big Horn . . . Robeson's has grown with Champaign-Urbane. Today its modern five-story building stands at the corner of Church and Randolph streets. Its recently completed interior and exterior remodeling program provides Champaign-Urbana with its "Most Beautiful" showcase of fashions for the family and the home. We like to feel Robeson's has a Very Important Place in the com- munity and the hearts of its people. We know the people of Champaign- Urbana are Very Important People to Robeson's.

We are Grateful . . .

to the local Historical Societies, to the University of Illinois Library, the News-Gazette, the Champaign-Urbana Courier, and Mrs. James D. Hogan for the data on our V.I.P.'s. To our knowledge no compilation of this kind has been previously made and many, many months of in- tensive research went into this eflFort. We assure you any omissions or errors were unintentional. Any suggestions or informaton you have for corrections or additions will be gratefully received for future reference.

Sincerely,
