Additional Information

David C. Cook is a nonprofit Christian publishing company founded in Chicago. When the company opened its doors in 1875, its focus was to provide Sunday school curriculums. In fact, David Caleb Cook, the company founder, provided Christian songs and lessons to children displaced by the Chicago Fire. The publisher has since expanded its operations to produce other items including books, comic books, toys, games, and buttons such as this one. The beacon has often been used as a symbol of spirituality amongst Christians.
