"What's in a
name?" Juliet famously asked that question of Romeo's family name (Montague).
Maybe a world created by a bard of tragedy a name makes no matter, but in the
world of product marketing a name can subconsciously invoke a notion of
familiarity and trust, cause a brand to be unforgettable, or simply provide a
clear understanding of what the product is. In the case of Goodline Transmission
Lines, for which this full-page ad appeared in a 1954 issue of Radio &
Television News magazine, the "Good" part of Goodline happens to be the
name of the company owner, Don Good. However, you can be sure he capitalized on
the fortunate surname when branding his transmission lines. In looking at the ad
you can tell that Don is quite adept at wordplay - including
double entendre -
and imagery for
hawking his wares to the male audience that made up the vast majority of his
audience.
