Ruth Ades-Laurent, daughter of legendary vegetable peeler sales man Joe Ades appeared in Union Square today with her fathers left overs. “Some fathers leave their kids buildings, my father left me peelers”, said Ades. I’d say he left her with more than just peelers, he left her with a talent to sell. Talking constantly while pealing away just like her father did. She sold 4 units within 5 minutes at $5 a pop! In fact it was her talking that caught my attention. I have seen her father many times in Union Square over the past 10 years. When I heard her voice I knew right away that it was his daughter. It was a pleasant surprise!
