Grover Cox started a sporting goods store in Tampa around 1910 where he sold bicycles and other equipment for a wide variety of sports.
Cox made the Tampa Minnows and ran ads in the local newspaper for these lures as early as 1916. He apparently stopped selling the lures in the early 1920s, but kept the store until the 1930s.
