Have dona an internet search without any luck. My guess is it goes back to turn of the century, 1900.

Any help including a pointer to some other possible info source would be appreciated.

I found a W.T. Shook who owned a general merchandise store in Belmont, Mississippi. Could that be your man?

Sure could be Doug. Time period seems about right. Thanks for finding these links. On Google I got zero hits for the name.

Think I'll do some checking and see if I can contact someone that may have additional info. Thanks for the links and your effort to provide an answer.
