Montgomery Ward - GREAT prices!

I hear ya. Sometimes I come across something that I put up in the attic or on a high shelf and now I wonder how the heck I did that by myself. Of course now I stop and think it through and get the same results with less muscle.

I've got some engines in the crawl space at moms... mostly 289 and Model A Ford...

When I was young I would lift the Model A block out of the back of the pick up... no idea how I did it then!

The engines might have to go with the house if sold.

Did Wards have their own brand, like sears had kenmore and craftsman?

I think they did, but right now I can't recall what it was.

I guess some of you remember when J.C. Penney decided to try to be like Sears with all their own branded items. My first color TV, first new refrigerator, first typewriter, first adding machine, first washing machine, even a set of tires for my car were "Penncrest" branded items.

Products included radios, televisions, record players, guitars and amplifiers, similar to the way*Sears*branded their competing line of consumer electronics and instruments*Silvertone. In the early 2000s, the Eastwood Guitar Co. acquired the rights to use the "Airline" brand-name.

Wards was the best source for Model A Ford tires... the Riverside Brand was an excellent value and high quality...
