t. Joseph, Mo. has a rich history. Located on the Missouri
River in the northwest area of the state, the city served as
the starting point of the Pony Express starting in 1860. St.
Joe, as the locals call it, is also where famed outlaw Jesse
James met his death in 1882.

St. Joe's Acme Music & Vending Co. is a long-running family business that is
still going strong. Founded in 1938 by current president Thomas Cobb's parents,
Acme started as an amusement game company and eventually expanded into
full-line vending, micro markets and, more recently, office coffee service (OCS).
