The post previous to this one was about Joe Ades, salesman extraordinaire ("He could talk a starving dog off a meat truck," says one article), who passed away last week after a lifetime as a street-vendor. Street vendor? Don't feel badly for him. He dressed in thousand-dollar suits and lived in a Park Avenue apartment, and said, "Never underestimate small amounts of money over 60 years."
As usual, Priscilla went into her super-sleuth mode and found the Swiss company that makes the veggie peelers Joe Ades sold, and I found this outlet for them on the Internet. For such a well-spoken product, there are surprisingly few places to buy one.
Here's another video that ran on the NBC Today show a few years ago about Mr. Ades (thanks, Prisc!):
