Relationship
Mr Cook was the first jeweller to have his own shop in Yallourn when a few were built in I think the early fifties, maybe late forties, between the National Bank and the picture theatre. Prior to that time, there were very few shops other than the SEC run General Store.
I am not sure that my watch came in this box which my parents gave me, I think for my 18th birthday. As it was a surprise, Mr Cook sent a selection into the National Bank (where I worked) on the pretense of it being for someone else, so I chose it not knowing it would be for me.
I believe Mrs Davey (Norma Hutchinson's mother) worked in the jewellers at some stage, although I don't remember that....Dorothy Andrew (Edwards) YHS 1948
