The farm products they sold? I’m going to go with Purina.
They opened on the town square in 1907 as the Acme Stock and Poultry company, and then became Acme Feed and Grain. in the 40’s it relocated to Broadway as the Acme Feed and Hatchery. The had an old wooden floor on which they sold farm supplies, feed, or get yourself a baby chick from the incubator. Contrary to what the red and white checkers imply, they actually never sold Purina.
