Or As Locals Say - AC-A-ME ?

Having done some research on the journal I have quoted below, I have come to the conclusion that it may well have been that of a Mr. Samuel Robinson – the founder of the American Stores – or, more recently, the ACME stores. Certainly, I cannot know for sure, but times, etc., are correct, and he has written that he was at least acquainted with “Bob C.” who could have been the co-founder of the ACME – Robert Crawford. http://www.ballymoneyancestry.com/samuel-robinson.aspx "Samuel Robinson – Emigrated to America in 1888 and became a successful multi-million dollar businessman. Robinson settled in Philadelphia and founded the American Stores Company (more commonly known as the acronym ACME). He built the Robinson Memorial Hospital in Ballymoney in 1933 in memory of his late parents." http://www.fohbc.com/PDF_Files/CapstanTumblersJarsBottlers4AmerStoresCo.pdf
