but, even more interesting (from Wikipedia):
The word "acme" means "pinnacle" or "highest"[1]. About 80 years ago, when categorized business telephone directories (such as the Yellow Pages) began to be popular, business owners realized that businesses whose names began with "A" would get listed at the beginnings of their categories. A name implying that its company was the best was so much the better. The result was a flood of companies named Acme (some of these still survive[2]); the name was so heavily used that it became something of a joke. The joke spread to Warner Bros. cartoons; in 1949, it made its first appearance in a Road Runner cartoon.
Since the fictional Acme's products are typically mail-ordered, it is likely that the famous Sears mail-order catalogs were a strong inspiration for the fictional company. Early Sears catalogs contained a number of products with the "Acme" trademark, including anvils, which are frequently-used props in Warner Bros. cartoons[3].
