I Was in the Doghouse

This button promotes Mack Trucks, a large manufacturer of heavy duty vehicles. Representing the toughness and tenacity of Mack Trucks is “Mack the Bulldog”, the company’s signature mascot.

Mack Trucks was a long time client of Keith Smykal Co., which created promotional merchandise for corporations. Much of the merchandise included high quality, artistic pieces such as belt buckles, porcelain figurines, key chains, and ashtrays, which are valued and considered to be collectibles today.
