In 1954, he also operated Fly-Deth Distributing Co. and during its operation, mailed over 20,000 mailers in one year, enough to get Clarksville Post Office reclassified as a First Class Post Office. Mr. Roberts not only invested in business, he helped others too. With his financial backing, the Clarksville Times, now the News Progress Newspaper was established and a medical clinic was put into operation, operated by Dr. Gillispie. Through his efforts, the Mecklenburg County Life Saving & Rescue Squad was able to obtain additional stretchers, thus eliminating wait time at hospitals. Innovations were the norm for Ned, he originated the name "Rib Eye Steak", but due to timing, failed to receive a trademark. He did, however, hold a trademark on "Chicken N Chips". Recognized as Outstanding Citizen of the Year, first by the Clarksville Jaycees in 1978 and in 1981 by the Clarksville Chamber of Commerce. He also was recognized by receiving the Ezekiel and Weilman Award for most outstanding restaurateur in the state of Virginia. He was a former member of the Clarksville Lions Club, the VFW Post 8163, where he served as a Post Commander, and served on the Clarksville Town Council 14 years.
