Depends on operating system.

On Unix etc you can put it in your .Xdefaults  (as someone mentioned)
or I believe you can add the geometry to the command line using an
alias.

On Windows you can add this as an entry in your Registry under the GNU
Emacs section. The Emacs For Windows FAQ explains this.
