Toledo Trivia

Back in the 1940's, a lady named Betty Warren worked as a product demonstrator at the Lasalle and Koch Department Store. She left Toledo after a divorce, in 1947. She remarried and became famous for a job she held much later.
Her second husband's name was Gerald R. Ford and she went on to become First Lady of the United States.

"... and now you know, the rest of the story," as Paul Harvey would conclude.

"Good Day !"

I'd have been tempted to put it that way, but a local Cadillac dealership uses a Paul Harvey imitator ( a bad one ) in a series of seriously annoying commercials. I always enjoyed Paul Harvey, but they test Toledo's tolerance for the rest of the story.

I know what you mean ... in Chicago there is a radio commercial for LaSalle/ Bank One and the actors deliberately sound like the characters from PEANUTS

Aw, c'mon, that Paul Harvey imitator isn't THAT good ;-)

(And yes, he's definitely annoying...)
