Some years afterward he entered the Cincinnati Law School and upon his graduation, in 1899, received the LL. B. degree. In the meantime, however, he had entered business circles for as soon as his high-school course was finished he became bookkeeper for Charles Meis & Company, of this city, wholesale jobbers, with whom he continued until 1897. The succeeding two years were devoted to preparation for the bar and he has since engaged in a general law practice. At the present writing he is serving
for the second term as justice of the peace, this being the seventh year of his incumbency in the office. His decisions are rendered with an assurance and impartiality that leave no room for question and in his work in the courts he has
also given indication of his familiarity with the basic principles of the law. In business, too, his capability and enterprise. are shown. He is now senior member of The Roebling Brothers' Building Company and is conducting an extensive building and real-estate business, the firm developing principally their own property.

They sell at reasonable terms on monthly payments and thus many have been enabled had to be made in a single payment. In addition to his other interests Mr. Roebling is a director of the Cincinnati Lathe & Tool Company and of several other manufacturing concerns. His business judgment is sound, his insight keen, and whatever he undertakes has its root in marked business ability and an enterprising spirit.

Politically Mr. Roebling is well known as a republican and while not a politician in the usual sense of office seeking, he seeks the welfare and upbuilding of the community through the adoption of party principles. He has served as a director of the board of education and as solicitor of Delhi township.

Mr. Roebling resides at the corner of Trenton and Foley avenues, in the Roebling subdivision, Cincinnati, and he belongs to that class of valuable citizens who promote public progress in advancing individual prosperity.
