(NAPSA)—A family-owned company founded in 1946 began with the creation of a homemade remedy for dog mange. The remedy was developed by Jim Exum of Snow Hill, North Carolina, who could not watch his prized beagle, Contentnea JackII, suffer. The cure eventually led to the formation of Happy Jack, Inc., a family-owned and operated company that provides treatments for various pet ailments. Exum developed the mange cure in the early ’40s in the back of his hardware store, where he mixed it in an old tub and sold it in jars. After the medicine was sold at field trials across the country, its popularity grew and farm feed and hardware stores began stockingit. Today, Happy Jack markets a complete line of state-of-the-art dog and cat products. The Exum family still runs the business out of Snow Hill, North Carolina and that’s why Jim Exum’s epitaph reads, “Man’s best friend’s best friend.” These time-tested, cost effective remedies for dogs, cats, and horses are available to treat numerousailments including skin diseases, worms, mange, fleas, and ticks. Perhaps the most famous product has been the Flea Beacon, a device that controls fleas in the home without the use of toxic chemicals.
