Born Robert A. Roberts in Cincinnati, he was known to record buyers as Bob Roberts or Ragtime Bob Roberts. His father was Nicholas Roberts, proprietor of the Nick Roberts' Pantomime Company (he had emigrated from Germany). In his youth Bob traveled extensively with shows.
He apparently made his recording debut in 1902 with Columbia, cutting performances issued on early Columbia discs.
I've got a lot more info. I'll send you in a message. :-)
Remick refers to a music publisher. This was probably a publicity gimmick of theirs. I have a standard Columbia that has a "Medley of Remick Hits" on one side and a "Medley of Snyder Hits" on the other. And of course, all of the "Snyder" hits are Irving Berlin compositions.
