In 1901, he started work at a print shop in Granville, and in 1907 moved to Mohall to work for the Mohall News. A year later he went into the newspaper business at Deering and published the Deering Enterprise from 1909 to 1921.

In 1947 he served as president of the North Dakota Press Association. In 1952 the Robles sold the Herald but continued to operate the Granville print shop and wrote news and features for the Herald, retaining responsibility as editor and publisher of the newspaper.
