Historical Figures



This is a picture of a cemetery at night. It has nothing to do with the rest of this post. Well, not really.

There are a lot of companies that like to use the names of famous historical figures in order to sell their products.

Examples:

1. Ethan Allen (Furniture)
2. Sam(uel) Adams (Beer)
3. Ben Franklin (Bank)
4. John Hancock (Insurance)

I'm sure there are many more that I cannot think of right now.

I wonder what these historical folks would think if they saw their names being used to sell furniture, beer, savings accounts, or insurance.

I guess using historical names for business just doesn't sit well with me.

And nor should it with you...
