• 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.

Celebrate Epiphany

January 6, which is 12 days after Christmas in the Gregorian calendar, marks not only the end of the Christmas holidays but also the start of the Carnival season, which climaxes with Mardi Gras. In some European countries, such as the Czech Republic and Slovakia, children dress as the three kings and visit houses. In their roles as the kings, or wise men, they sing about the Jesus’ birth and pay homage to the “king of kings”. They are rewarded with praise and cookies.
