Manager of Jacob's in 1913

I've come across a reference to a Mr Dawson, manager of Jacob's in 1913, but can't track down any other references. Who was he?
I'm wondering if he's the Robert Dawson living in Mountpleasant Avenue, and who he was otherwise.

QM, the Dublin City Library in Pearse St are the custodians of the Jacob's Archive - might be worth contacting them...?

Thom's 1914 - 23 Garville Ave., Rathgar - James L. Dawson, joint general manager W. & R. Jacob & Co.

a Robert E. Dawson is listed at 45 Mountpleasant Ave. Lower, with no occupation. The managers are not mentioned in the Bishop St. listing for the Co.

will check to see if the other joint manager is listed also...
