they’re back:(onlne only - they look like maybe they are the middleman) https://www.wards.com
i worked for wards in the late 60s early 70s(with 2 years out for the service)
worked nights...from the downtown wards building...
I watched the west side of chicago go up in flames after MLK got shot.
Then later that year watched the yahoo hippies get chased by the cops during the 68 RAT convention.(which was miles away from grant park)
Thanks. I didn’t know they were back online. Where did you work? The big store we always went to was Oakland, CA. When I was very young, I couldn’t understand why my mom didn’t just buy everything, since all she had to do was show a card and sign her name, no money! Lol.
