Active in San Jose from 1936 to 1945. Appears in 1940 NLRB decision.

Small fire in sulfur room in Sept. 2, 1942 San Jose Evening News.

Hints at a Robert packing house in Fresno - perhaps a Fresno-related business?

Roberts had been a Vice President for Higgins-Hyde packing, and occupied their former plant.
