Another Legendary Pitchman Leaves Us
Does the name Elmer Lynn Hauldren ring a bell?
If not, it’s because he didn’t sell bells, but carpeting. Lots of it. He was best known as the Empire Carpet Man, and he passed away at the age of 89 on April 27th, 2011.
If you grew up in the Midwest, this guy was a legend. Take a peek at one of his commercials here.
Unlike so many pitchmen, this guy was the grandfatherly type, who oozed honesty. R.I.P.
