MACCAR ( Mac-Carr Company ) was started in 1912 and named after its 2 founders, Jack Mack (one of the brothers who formed MACK in 1902 ) and Roland Carr. MACCAR built trucks of 3/4 to 8 tons over the years. In 1929 MACCAR joined SELDEN. Neither of them survived the depression and the business was discontinued in 1935.
As far as I know, the trucks only had a script on the radiator or on the hood until 1921. It was not until 1922 that the first enameled emblem appeared:
