He lived a short time at Birmingham, and then, following the example set by his father as a young man, migrated to the west. He went first to Palestine, Texas, and in 1887 pressed on into Mexico, where he remained for a period of thirteen years. In 1900 he went for a short time to California, removing form there to El Paso, Texas, and there opened a machine shop which he successfully conducted for three years. At the end of this time he secured a position in the El Paso Foundry and Machine Company and here he remained until 1905.

Here they engaged in the same business with a high degree of success, and in 1910 built a garage measuring 95 by 200 feet. The firm, which deals in automobiles and supplies, is known as the Anderson Automobile Company, and of it Robert L. Anderson is the president.
