Mercury was a record label, and judging by the decal it is probably the same Mercury.

TV was big into the mid 50's, and when that set was made two other record companies (RCA Victor, and CBS Columbia) were making phonos and TVs so they probably got in to TV as a sort of "me too" imitation of the big conglomerates.
