Braided rugs that even Mr. Whipple would approve of are found at Abingdon Rug Outlet.  Reminding customers for 21 years ”Please don’t squeeze the Charmin,” Dick Wilson has died at the age of 91.  Always appreciating value and softness, Mr. Whipple would have loved these first-quality braided rugs.  As Mr. George Whipple, Wilson made 500 TV commericals from 1964 to 1985.  Ever vigilant against keeping bubbly housewives from fondling the toilet paper, he, himself, was a closet Charmin-squeezer.  Who knew?  So here’s to Mr. Wilson, a legendary pop culture icon.  May he find comfort and softness on the big braided rugs in the sky.
