reuben_robertson_portrait

Correspondence, letters, speeches,scrapbooks, photographs, and news articles concerning the life and career of Reuben B. Robertson, one of mountain region's best known businessmen. For over sixty years Robertson developed and managed Champion Papers Inc. of Canton, NC, and this collection includes include business records, along with personal tax, real estate and financial records. Also included are the texts of many of his speeches delivered before local civic groups in western North Carolina. Many of these contain themes which express his concern about continuing "free enterprise." There are also materials pertaining to Robertson's interest in the genealogy of his father's family in the Shetland Islands, and correspondence and other materials relating to his travels there in search of this information.

Reuben B. Robertson was born in Cincinnati OH, in 1879 and after being admitted to the bar initially worked with his father in a Cincinnati law firm. In 1905 he married Hope Thompson, and the following year, his father in law Peter G. Thompson, founder of the Champion Coated Paper Co. of Hamilton, OH, asked Robertson to go to Canton, NC where the construction of a new Champion paper mill was having problems. Despite it being "a 50-day assignment", Robertson never left Canton, forgoing a law career to eventually become president and chairman of the Champion Paper and Fibre Company. Under his tenure, Champion pioneered forestry conservation and management, and the Canton Mill was the first to organize many safety and worker initiatives. Additionally, Robertson served with many forestry related organizations, as well as other businesses and educational establishments in Western North Carolina.

Robertson died in Asheville in 1972, at the age of 93.
