"Ades, 74, came here from England more than 10 years ago. At age 15 in his hometown of Manchester, he learned the art of 'grafting,' or selling and demonstrating products. He also learned never to underestimate a small amount of money. Ades stores his inventory in the maid’s room of his Park Ave. apartment. According to an obituary in The New York Times, artist Estelle Pascoe, Ades’s wife, passed away last fall." [Villager]
