	George Ade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ade was born in Kentland, Indiana, one of seven children raised by John and Adaline (Bush) Ade.
		Ade's regular practice in the best fables is to present a little drama incorporating concrete, specific evidence with which he implicitly indicts the object of his satire--always a type (e.g., the social climber).
		Ade is also famous among Sigma Chis as the author of "The Sigma Chi Creed", one of the central documents of the fraternity's philosophies.

	Indiana Historical Society
		Born in Kentland, Indiana, George Ade was the second youngest of seven children raised by John and Adaline (Bush) Ade.
		Ade captured the hustle and bustle of Chicago through such vivid characters as Artie, a young office boy; Doc Horne, a gentlemanly liar; and Pink Marsh, a fl shoeshine boy.
		Ade's home soon became know as the amusement center for the United States, hosting a campaign stop in 1908 by William Howard Taft, a rally for Theodore Roosevelt's Bull Moose Party in 1912, and a homecoming for soldiers and sailors in 1919.

		Hoosier George Ade during the seven Stories of Chicago is a recently republished collection of short stories written by years (1893–1900) when he crafted American personality types.
		While the stories are aimed at the general newspaper consumer of the 1890s, Ade's keen ability to see the city allows his work to transcend the usual limits of newspaper writing and break down barriers between "highbrow" and "lowbrow." More than one hundred years later, his characters still resonate.
		Ade captures Chicago's quick growth in the tale "After the Sky-Scrapers, What?" Immediately after construction workers had completed a building, it seemed, the structure failed to live up to modern standards and was taken down again.

	GEORGE ADE TWAYNE'S UNITE
		George Ade's popularity at the turn of the last century and for a decade beyond was enormous, but his fame is now gone; his books are out of print, and his readers rare.
		Ade is not complex, and infrequently is he deep.
		In it, he illustrates at length from Ade's works, especially from his unpublished plays; but he also quoted freely from his published works, for they are either rare or not readily accessible to the average reader.

	Inventory of the George Ade Papers, 1865-1971
		George Ade was born in Kentland, Indiana in 1866, and graduated from Purdue University in 1887.
		Ade's columns, entitled "Stories of the Streets and of the Town," which were illustrated by McCutcheon, attracted national attention and were subsequently collected and published as books entitled Artie, 1896, and Pink Marsh, 1897.
		Ade is probably best remembered for his innumerable fables in slang, columns begun in 1897 and published as books beginning with Fables in Slang in 1899 and ending with Hand-Made Fables in 1920.

	[No title]
		A series of eight volumes containing selections of George Ade's writing, Stories of the Streets and of the Town was published with a Chicago Record by-line, since Ade wrote the stories for that newspaper.
		Called a nursery tale by Ade, the point and humor of this story would be lost on a child, for it is a biting satire of the literature that appeared in the pulp magazines of Ade's era.
		Twenty-six stories from the pen of George Ade represent "plain observations concerning people who live just around the corner." These people are Chicago's ordinary citizenry boasting as fine a collection of foibles as may be found in any city.

		The stories of George Ade are energetic, detailed, and affectionate slices of the social life of Chicago in the Gay Nineties.
		Originally appearing in the Chicago Record between 1893 and 1900, they range from candid character sketches and snapshots of everyday street scenes to fiction and fantasies drawing on the endless stream of inspiration the bustling city provided.
		I have personally known each of the characters in the book and can testify that they are all true to the facts, and as exact as if they had been drawn to scale.

		These works were remarkable in their day, as they are now, for capturing the impressions of a newpaperman and a skilled observer of the commonplace in the vernacular of the day.
