ACME

ACME

• The dictionary definition is: "the top", or "the highest point", or just "perfection". 
• This is straight from Greek. 
• Apparently some early business school textbooks liked to use Acme as a business name in some of their examples.
• There's a story that the business school uses is an acronym, standing for "A Company Manufacturing Everything". This is probably false etymology.
• Sears-Roebuck used Acme as one of their in-house brand names in the early 1900s, 
• Warner Brothers apparently took the name from Sears and used it for the mail-order company in the cartoons.
