Memory of a favorite advertiser at the EHN By Geniece Marcum The late John Wes England, a prominent real estate agent, is still fondly remembered around Metcalfe County for his good nature, wit and humor. and came into the Edmonton Herald News office one day and announced, with put-on sternness, "Girls, you've made a mistake on my ad." We braced ourselves, because, unlike some, John Wes never complained. We knew it had to be bad. Miss Ruth Van Zant, Becky Pedigo and I grabbed papers to check what had been printed. Where he bad advertised acreage with pond stocked with fish, we printed "pond stacked with fish." We prepared for the possible request for a discount, as we knew one of his colleagues would do - and regularly did - for the least infraction. But when John Wes saw how chagrin we were, that trademark smile broke across his face, "Did get me lots of attention, though," he said, and left as gently as he came. - GENIECE MARCUM This story was posted on 2013-01-01 10:30:18
