George Ade (February 9, 1866 - May 16, 1944) was an American writer, newspaper columnist, and playwright.
Ade was born in Kentland, Indiana, one of seven children raised by John and Adaline (Bush) Ade. He graduated from Purdue University in 1887. Lafayette, Indiana is where he met and started a lifelong friendship with cartoonist John T. McCutcheon. Ade worked as a reporter for the Lafayette Call.
In 1890 Ade joined the Chicago Morning News, which later became the Chicago Record, where McCutcheon was working. He wrote the column, Stories of the Streets and of the Town. In the column, which McCutcheon illustrated, George Ade illustrated Chicago-life. It featured characters like Artie, an office boy; Doc Horne, a gentlemanly liar; and Pink Marsh, a black shoeshine boy. Ade's well-known "fables in slang" also made their first appearance in this popular column.
