Montgomery Wards aka Monkey Wards . Biggest competitor to Sears. Had really good products. I went through three of their life time car batteries for free. They got tired of seeing me coming. Like all good outfits in the 70' they went down the tube to total mismanagement. A famous picture in Life Magazine in 42 or 43 shows the President of Montgomery Wards being carried out of his office in his chair by soldiers because he refused to work with Roosevelt on the war effort. Had his own way which was probably better.

OK, somebody's gotta spill. What WAS Monkey Ward? When I was a kid
there was a department store we called Monkey's Warts. Is that the
same?
