Not in the sense of final, but rather shoe manufacturing. St. Louis once dominated shoe making in the US before it all went offshore. (And we had more big breweries than just Anheuser-Busch, as well as a second - terrible - major league baseball team. It was said that we were first in shoes, first in brews and last in the American League.) This building was the headquarters on the International Shoe Company and a shoe last is a mechanical form shaped like a human foot, used by shoemakers to create and repair shoes.
