Remember Montgomery Ward?
I bought a lawnmower from Montgomery Ward in 1987. About five years ago when I was washing it off, the young man who cuts grass in the neighborhood came to look at it; he’d only seen photos of them, never saw one that still ran. It finally died three years ago when the wheel mount broke off the deck. I’d say 25 years is a good service life.
My mother had a credit card at Wards and I loved going to the “big wards” in Oakland when I was little. I couldn’t understand why she wouldn’t just buy me everything since she didn’t have to pay money, LOL. She shopped at Wards until she died. I was sad when it closed just for memories sake.
#11 Remember Montgomery Ward?
Yes I do. I bought my first computer there in Dec 1995
A Packard Bell computer with the mouse with that hump that after a few hours it left your hand with muscle cramps.
