The Mack Brush Co. Jonesville, Michigan
A local company with a global reach, Mack Brush Co. is the originator fo the Pinstriping Brush and they produce the best in the world, right there in downtown Jonesville, Michigan.
When drawing stripes, both broad and fine
And what is more a double line
You're never safe from a man's attack
Unless your stripers come from Mack.
Although
the Andrew Mack and Son Brush Co. was founded in 1891, its history goes
back to 1865. It was during that year that J.J. Deal founded his wagon
and buggy factory in the small village of Jonesville, Michigan. The Deal
factory quickly gained the reputation of building the finest carts,
wagons and carriages in the Midwest. The products were first class in
every detail - even the paint!
The Pinstriping Brush that is manufactured today is essentially the same
brush that Andrew Mack first made in 1891, (although many of the leading
stripers in the world would give anything to get hold of one of those
"Old Mack brushes"). The pinstriping brush is totally a hand-crafted
operation, just as it was in 1891. There is not one piece of machinery
used in its manufacture. It is completely manufactured in Jonesville,
Michigan, by eight to ten very talented technicians.
