Honey Now Heads Big Corporation Operating Chain ©f Stores ; Tlie progress and advancement made in the life of John R. Honey, ol Chicago will be of interest to many of our readers who knew him when, as a boy, he lived in this locality. He is the son of the late Jack Roney of Wauconda, where he lived as a boy and where his father lived until his death. The «a&cess of John R. Roney reads like a fairy story and this man who is known to many in this region is now a millionaire. He is the president of the Consumer Sanitary Coffee and Batter stores which do a business of $15,440.00 a year. He started with one grocery store in 1907. Last year the corporation sold an issue of one million dollars in serial notes to finance the completion of a new warehouse and bakery to serve the chain stores of thy/ organization. The bak ery has been completed and the offices of the company were transferred to the new headquarters in March. After financing, the balance sheet of the concern shows $3,461,000 total assets and liabilities, or a capital and surplus of $13W,000. . Although a mere million or so is almost overlooked in these days of huge international bond issues and record breaking stock market activity, these particular millions are worth recording as evidence of the success of a worth-while enterprise that has grown steadily from its original small beginning, clean stores, quality and value for the money have been Mr. Roney's slogans and his pet idea has been having his clerks so well informed that they can answer any ordinary question about their merchandise. To-day there are 275 stores in the chain and Mir. Roney says he plans to open 100 new stores every year. His son, Walter J. Roney, is vicepresident of the company and Miss G. C. Roney, sister of the founder of the business, holds the position of treasurer. « ... u..,w "r About twenty-two uiwfrsri of the Social Wheel enjoyed a$fc»»*ant meet. ing of the society lit the Universalis! church parlors on last Thursday afternoon.
