Yesterday a Chicago advertising legend passed away. Elmer Lynn Hauldren, "the Empire Carpet man", passed away at age 89. Hauldren was a World War II veteran who had been working for Empire Carpet since the 1970s. He'll live on in the memories of many Chicagoans.
we saw that in the paper today, sad! even after all these years of being away from home, i can still recite the commercials and sing the songs. haha.
