     The name ACME is instantly recognizable to most individuals from many sources (not the least of which has been Warner Brothers series of various cartoons). Also it easy to remember and represented by the Greek word meaning pinnacle or the best.

Brief fun history of the ACME name.

The ACME acronym is short for “American Company Making Everthing”. Acme (Greek translation) means "Peak, Pinnacle, or Summit", so the name was sometimes used to symbolize the best. An early global Acme brand name was the 'Acme City' whistle made from mid 1870s onwards by J Hudson & Co, followed by the 'Acme Thunderer', and Acme Siren in 1895. The name became particularly popular for businesses in the 1920s, when alphabetized business telephone directories such as the Yellow Pages began to be widespread: a name at the beginning of the alphabet would be listed first, and a name implying "the best" was even better. There was a flood of businesses named Acme; some survive to this day, including Acme Brick, Acme Markets, and Acme Boots. Early Sears catalogues contained a number of products with the "Acme" trademark, including anvils, which are frequently used in Warner Bros. cartoons.[1][Source Wikipedia].
