Return to the Table of Contents
American journalist, humorist and playwright.
George Ade was a small-town Indiana boy, born in the middle of the
nineteenth century, who became so famous and rich as a wildly popular and
prolific author and playwright, that he could retire to his country estate in
the 1920s and spend the rest of his long life writing, entertaining, golfing,
traveling and generally making himself and his many friends happy and
comfortable.
George Ade was born in Kentland, Indiana in 1866, and graduated from
Purdue University in 1887. After a few years as a local newspaper reporter, Ade
joined his Purdue friend, cartoonist John T. McCutcheon, at the
Chicago Record, where he developed the skill of
turning human-interest stories into gentle satirical humor. 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.
The celebrated fables proved to be a bonanza when they went into
syndication in 1900, and financial success allowed Ade to turn his considerable
energies to the theater. He wrote several popular musical comedies, notably
The Sultan of Sulu, and fourteen equally popular,
clever, lightweight plays for Broadway, the best being The Country Chairman in 1903, and The College Widow in 1904.
In 1904 Ade bought a 2400-acre estate at Brook, Indiana, named it
"Hazelden" and it was there, forever after, he could work, play, and entertain
lavishly. He continued writing fables, essays, newspaper and magazine articles,
gave speeches and produced newsletters about his travels abroad. Ade was a
political conservative, active in Republican politics and the Committee of One
Hundred. He was a life-long supporter of Purdue and the Sigma Chi fraternity.
Among his many activities was his presidency of the Mark Twain Association of
America in the 1940s. In Miami, where he vacationed each winter, he enjoyed the
same busy social life that he had in Indiana.
George Ade never married. He died in Indiana in 1944.
Return to the Table of Contents
Correspondence, writings, pictorial materials, and newsclippings
dating mainly from 1890 to 1944, documenting the literary and personal life of
George Ade.
With the exception of Ade's writings, some photographs and
newsclippings, and a few letters, the papers date largely from Ade's later
literary career and active retirement. The collection reflects his close
relationships with family and friends, and his sustained support of Purdue
University and the Sigma Chi fraternity. They are also important sources of
material on John T. McCutcheon and the viewpoint of conservatives opposed to
the New Deal.
Most of Ade's letters date after 1920 and the bulk are to Evelyn
Gilman (Mrs. William T. Gilman), William F. Kurfess, and Franklin J. Meine. One
letter to Vause W. Marshall describes Ade's friendship with the illustrator
John Francis (Frank) Holme. The small group of incoming correspondence includes
letters from Elmer Davis, William Dean Howells, Elbert Hubbard, John T.
McCutcheon, and H.T. Webster. There is also correspondence which relates to
George Ade, including letters written by or to Fred C. Kelly, William Frederick
Kurfess, John T. McCutcheon, Franklin J. Meine and James Rathbun, plus a
photostat of a letter from Mark Twain to William D. Howells.
Within the collection is a smaller collection of Ade materials given
by the Union League Club of Chicago, gathered by Monroe Cockrell, which concern
Ade's friendship with Charles Fernald (both Cockrell and Monroe were officers
of Ade's bank, the Continental).
The five boxes of works contain published writings, typescripts and
many original manuscripts. Miscellaneous material includes articles about Ade,
some Ade family items, memorabilia, a few legal documents and Hazelden-related
items. There are two scrapbooks containing two printed Ade stories; also, a box
of clippings and 2 boxes of photographs, many of which are of Ade.
Narrative descriptions of the subject matter, types of material, and
arrangement of each series are available through the Organization section of
the finding aid.

Material relating to the friendship between George Ade and Charles
Fernald, collected by Monroe Cockrell and originally presented to the Union
Club of Chicago, which in turn was given to the Newberry Library in 1972.
Fernald and Cockrell were officers of the Continental Bank in Chicago, where
Charles Fernald handled Ade's financial affairs. Cockrell sifted through (and
discarded much) of the Ade-Fernald material that the bank held, arranged it as
he saw fit in two (now disbanded) notebooks and deposited it at the Union
League Club in 1960. The order of the items, left as Cockrell put them, is not
strictly chronological and includes correspondence (mostly from Ade), articles
and clippings about Ade, newsletters written by Ade, other miscellaneous
Ade-related material, plus some extraneous pieces added when Cockrell gave the
papers to the Union League Club. Also includes materials relating to Ade's
participation in the Committee of One Hundred and the Mark Twain Society of
Chicago.

The bulk of the George Ade Papers is his writings, both manuscript
and published. One box consists mainly of copies of his fables, many in draft
form showing his corrections. The collection includes newspaper and magazine
articles, -- some of which apparently were never published -- speeches,
advertising copy, a play, newsletters written while traveling, and other
miscellaneous items. Where necessary, some of the original hand-written
material has been copied on acid-free paper for use in the reading room.
