Sir, we've been...jammed!

Wells Gardner made MW electronics in the 60s. Gradually Panasonic snuck in for the smaller color sets and I believe Morse for the radio/phono consoles. Neither particularly impressive. I don't know who they ended up with, I only worked there one year then left the continent.

Well friend Ralph,

45 or so years ago, for $15 you could have turned out to be a kinder and gentler person with regards to Montgomery Ward's fine line of appliances

ring..."hello, I'd like to talk to Wendy about registering my child"

And that ad makes me remember in some of the larger Montgomery Ward stores they had a restaurant/cafeteria called "Winky Wards." (hope my memory is working properly on that one)

I missed the 8 Mile Rd. Montgomery Ward that was near me (and where the Hagopian rug place got its bottom mount Tru Cold fridge/freezer, iin Copper w/o a "color panel" on the freezer door)...

It long-closed before I could ever drive to it, and maybe the empty building sat around from shortly after the time we had moved here, if I don't remember my family ever shopping at it...

That top-loading set in the first photo is what started it all for me. My grandmother had the models just below those -- a one-speed washer but a great machine. Those amazing Norge sounds were so much fun. Still searching for that machine out there somewhere...
