Montgomery Wards
 
If our name sounds familiar, it should! For over 128
years, Montgomery Ward was a well-known and trusted catalog retailer based
in Chicago, Illinois. In 1872, Aaron Montgomery Ward established the first
mail-order business with an innovative single-sheet catalog offering 163
items. He was the first retailer in the United States to guarantee
satisfaction to his customers. This superior service and an impressive
assortment of quality goods at affordable prices led to rapid growth. By
1904, the catalogs weighed a hefty four pounds each and were mailed to three
million customers.
