Tmz : Recently deceased Empire Carpet spokesman Elmer Lynn Hauldren is officially IMMORTAL — because TMZ has learned, Empire Carpet is adamant about continuing to use his image in their TV ads.
A rep for Empire tells TMZ, they have no plans whatsoever to replace Lynn’s likeness in their commercials — and they fully intend to keep using his famous jingle.
According to the rep, Lynn — who passed away on Wednesday at the age of 89 — “portrayed a trustworthy quality that will continue on with our brand.”
