Like a lot of great American success stories, Happy Jack is a company born of necessity. It was the early 1940s in Snow Hill, NC. James G Exum had a kennel full of beloved beagles with mange. Being a tinkerer, amateur chemist, and the owner of a very large Pharmacology book, James mixed up a batch of mange medicine that worked better than anything else on the market. As different ailments struck his dogs, James created treatments to cure them.
