Mr. Cook came from a family of shoemakers and retailers whose presence in the London area stretched back to the mid-19th century. Cook and Fitzgerald established their factory in an existing three-story brick structure located at the southeast corner of Richmond and Bathurst streets. The factory was three blocks south of the Cook Shoe store.
