History Of Mack
1900:
The early years of this century were years full of invention
the revolutionary effects of which we're still feeling today
In 1902, Willis Carrier introduced air conditioning
in 1903, Orville and Wilbur Wright flew the first successful airplane at Kitty Hawk
and in 1908, Henry Ford introduced the Model T
During this same time
~ John Mack ~
and his brothers were hard at work setting the pace for
an entirely new mode of commercial transportation
In the spirit of these other great pioneers
John Mack had a vision
to produce the most durable and powerful heavy-duty trucks
and engines in the world
The innovative designs and products he created began
a tradition of innovation that has continued to this day.
John Mack had already spent years researching and experimenting
with his own design for a motorized wagon
by the time he and his brothers opened their first bus manufacturing plant in 1900
The work paid off the same year
when the brothers introduced their first successful vehicle
a 40-horsepower, 20-passenger bus
~ The Mack bus ~
built for sightseeing concessionaire Harris and McGuire
operated in Brooklyn's Prospect Park for eight years
before being converted into a truck
The vehicle racked up a million miles of service
the first in a long line of Mack vehicles to do so
The success and acceptance of "Old No. 1"
Initiated a history of truck development unparalleled in the industry
and established a company whose reputation for tough
high-quality products has since become
"part of the language."
Mack used the slogan in advertisements for many years
especially when we produced buses...
"The first Mack was a bus and the first bus was a Mack."
The actual inspiration for building a large commercial motor vehicle truck
is reported to have occurred when Jack Mack
was invited for a ride in a neighbor's new 2-cylinder Winton automobile
The neighbor was Theodore Heilbron
captain of William Randolph Hearst's private yacht
who lived at 33 Third Avenue
a block from the Mack shop on Atlantic Avenue
The ride most likely took place in the fall
when the new 1902 Winton touring car was introduced.
The superior performance of the new Winton
soon had the two automobilists in an enthusiastic mood
And it was not long before their conversation centered
on the future developments of gasoline engines and motor vehicles
Mack Brothers Company is incorporated in New York
with John M., Augustus F., and William C. Mack as the directors.
Mack Philosophy
Where Mack competition joins components from various suppliers and calls it a truck
Mack builds the power train as well as the vehicle
That in it self sets them apart unlike any other Truck Manufacture
Building A Relationship
You're not in business to own trucks
You're in business to profit from them
If you have too much truck for the job
it's hard to make money
If you have too little truck
it's even harder to make money
