          1.    
          
          Branding: When did it start? 
          Why did it start? 
          
           
          
           
          
          2.    
          
          Some of the earliest brands 
          include Aunt Jemima and Uncle Ben.  
          Why were these particular images chosen and cultivated by their 
          parent companies? 
          
           
          
           
          
          3.    
          
          Why was the purchase of 
          Kraft by Philip Morris (the tobacco company) such a significant moment 
          in the business world? 
          
           
          
           4. Why is image such an important selling point for companies? 
          
           
          
            
          
          5.     
          
          The three most valuable brand names on earth: Marlboro, Coca-Cola, and 
          Budweiser, in that order.  Taking 
          the product and its respective market into 
          consideration, what common trait do all three have?
