Google President of MW and you'll get the whole story.
Now we better get off this thread before it's too late.

Noel thanks for the reminder of the President of MW being carried out in his chair...I had forgotten about that....I have forgotten his name, but I think I can find out....Just so YA KNOW...it isn't Montgomery or Ward.

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.
