Ozark Tribune, Sept. 13, 1904


ROBERT M. DOWLING

    Well, here is Bob Dowling, who is one of the most popular young men in this 
section and one whom everybody knows and likes.  
  While deputy sheriff he met nearly everyone and everybody liked him then and 
now.  
  This young man saw the light of day the first time on February 9th, 1871, 
being born near Newton, Ala., to E.M.C. and T.J. Dowling.  With such a mother 
and noble sire, how could we expect anything else but that Bob Dowling should 
be the success that he is proving in the battle of life.  
  In early life he became a member of the Methodist church and is one of the 
most faithful members.  He is also a K. of P.  His education advantages were 
very limited but he improved what he had and he is, competent to fill any place 
he may aspire to. 
  On November 4th, 1903, he married the very handsome and pretty Miss Flora 
GRACE, whose charms as a young woman were not surpassed in this part of the 
state.  
  Bob Dowling, during the time his father was sheriff of this county was deputy 
sheriff and no man ever held the office and had (or could be "made") more 
friends.  He has also made money right along and he acquired a real nice sum of 
money before he entered the commercial world with that charming business 
partner, Jim Smith, and since they have been together no merchants of our town 
have gone forward more rapidly than they have.  These boys are close observers 
and they are quick to reap every advantage they have in the markets and it puts 
them were they can sell the goods to the very best advantage to their many 
customers and the way their customers are growing on them is no surprise.  They 
are honest and square in their dealings.  
  No man holds up his end of the stick any better than does Bob. He goes right 
along in his own quiet way treating all in the same fair, honest way, and he is 
a drawing card to their business and he demonstrates every day that he is 
rapidly becoming one of the finest business men of our city.  When you strike 
hands with him you will find you are shaking hands with one of the best friends 
Ozark has.  
  He studies his business and keeps abreast with the times and watches business 
matters and grasps a business proposition as quick as anyone we know and gets 
what good there is out it. 
  He is a man that all of us are proud of, for he is so honorable in all 
business dealing and when you deal with him you are not afraid all the time. 
Those who know him best find in him a very gentle and lovable spirit and a true 
man indeed.  
  Watch our prediction, he will one day be one of the very rich men of this 
town and all things coming his way that will be good and grand, we will rejoice 
over it.
