I wonder if this model has that switch at the top, the switch that you press down and it turns on, like a pulse switch. It's hard to explain. |

Alright guys, tomorrow, I am officially picking it up. It came a little late today. I hope to have pictures of it tomorrow. |

That's Montgomery WARD, not WARDS!
Wrong: let's go shopping at Montgomery Wards! Correct: I love my new Montgomery Ward sewing machine! Correct: this Wards blender is awesome!
Montgomery Wards can be used as slang, though. Such as J.C Penneys. Not proper English, but who cares! These stores rock!
Now that I'm done ranting about my favourite department store (I'm the ambassador of everything Wards! ), enjoy the Montgomery Ward! |

Wards was second rate to Sears, but still an awesome store! My local Wards is still standing, the last time it saw business was 2012, when a consignment shop rented it. Didn't even know it was the former Wards! I'm glad I got to go in it, what I'd give to explore the whole thing! They didn't have the second story open, and the elevators were closed. You could see panels falling from above, though! Just thinking about it makes me want to get in there and look for any trace of Wards!
I bought my first typewriter from the consignment shop, so I can just barely say I bought it at a Montgomery Ward! |

Was the elevator really in the middle of the store at Wards at Sunland? Also, was it 3 floors? |

Then that means the escalators and the current elevator are still the same. Ok, so yea, they gutted everything else except those 2. |

I was at the mall yesterday and was sure to stop in front of WARDS, the store front was covered by a rolling, blacked-out glass wall. Regardless, I ran up to it and said, "Daddy's coming!"....in front of my friends!
What I'd give to go through that store, I could've sworn some of the employee signs still said "Montgomery Ward" when i walked trough it as a consignment shop. I should've taken pictures! But i was sure to take one of the entrance yesterday!
oh, and you should've seen what i did when we drove by my abandoned dream-house on the way to the mall! |
