  • Montgomery Ward Robbery & Kidnapping

    Montgomery Ward Robbery & Kidnapping

    LOCAL HISTORY WOODSTOCK & MCHENRY COUNTY Montgomery Ward Robbery & Kidnapping by Kirk Dawdy In 1926, the popular Montgomery Ward Mail Order Catalog Company broke with its mail-order-only tradition and successfully opened its first retail outlet store in Indiana. Two years later, 1928, the Stafford Furniture and Undertaking building on the west side of the square was razed to build a new Montgomery Ward retail store in Woodstock. Two years later, 1930, the Donnely residence and millinery shop just to the north of the store burned to the ground. In its’ place, an addition to the original Montgomery Ward building was built, doubling the store size. Today the building is known as the Woodstock Mall. Throughout the 1930s & ‘40s Woodstock’s Montgomery Ward was the largest department store in McHenry County and flourished. So much so, it became the target for a major robbery. The November 21st, 1949 issue of the Woodstock Sentinel reported “McHenry County’s crime wave which has caused considerable excitement in recent month turned into ‘big time’ status when a lone and desperate gunman staged one of the most daring holdups in Woodstock in many years.” The previous Saturday, November 19, 1949, soon after the Montgomery Ward store closed, a customer knocked on the front door saying he had left a package inside the store. Assistant Manager, Richard Henderson, recognized the man who had actually applied for a job several days earlier. After letting him inside, Henderson went to the basement to turn the store lights back on while store manager James Dwyer helped the customer retrieve his package.

    DOES CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTER IN THE MARKET RESPONSE TO MERGER ANNOUNCEMENTS? Evidence from the U.S. and Germany Paul Lowengrub,a Torsten Luedecke,b and Michael Melvinc April 2004 ________________________________________________________________________ German executives can make misleading statements regarding merger activities while U.S. executives must either state “no comment” or provide a truthful statement. Do these differences in corporate governance standards cause differences in the market response to merger announcements? A sample of German and U.S. firms that announced acquisition plans between 1995 and 1999 suggests that for smaller firms, merger news has no significant impact on cumulative abnormal returns for German firms but a significant positive impact for U.S. firms. Large German firms, however, have similar experiences to large U.S. firms, as do German firms listed on a U.S. stock exchange, which require greater disclosure requirements. Aside from the smaller-firm effect, the evidence is consistent with no price-relevant differences arising from the differences in corporate governance rules. JEL Classification: G34 _______________________________________________________________________ aCapAnalysis, Washington, D.C., USA bUniversity of Karlsruhe (TH), Karlsruhe, Germany cArizona State University, Tempe, Arizona, USA 1 DOES CORPORATE GOVERNANCE MATTER IN THE MARKET RESPONSE TO MERGER ANNOUNCEMENTS? Evidence from the U.S. and Germany I. INTRODUCTION This paper addresses the following question: Does the market response to a merger announcement depend upon the regulations applying to corporate disclosure? Cross-country differences in securities laws and enforcement result in countries where firm executives must answer public questions about merger talks truthfully or else offer “no comment” while in other countries it is possible to make statements that the public may view as misleading.

    Early Sears Catalogs Were Smaller Than Montgomery Ward So They Would Be Placed Atop Others

    Early Sears Catalogs Were Smaller Than Montgomery Ward So They Would Be Placed Atop Others What was once one of the most popular ways of shopping is remembered each year on August 18th as it is National Mail Order Catalog Day. On this day in 1872, Aaron Montgomery Ward of Chicago produced a catalog designed for direct order via mail. He aimed to remove the middleman from the business of buying and selling. As a result, he drastically lowered prices. The very first catalog consisted of an eight by 12-inch single sheet of paper. On it, Ward included the merchandise for sale, price list, and ordering instructions. Before long, the Montgomery Wards single-page list of products grew into a 540 page illustrated book selling over 20,000 items. One notable merchant, Richard Warren Sears, mailed his catalog in 1896. As others entered the field, catalog sales grew. By 1971, catalog sales of major United States firms exceeded more than $250 million in postal revenue. Early Sears catalogs were made smaller than Montgomery Ward catalogs so that neatnik housewives would stack them on top. According to the National Mail Order Association, Aaron Montgomery Ward wasn’t the first to conceive of mail order catalog. In the United States. Benjamin Franklin may have formulated the first basic mail order concept. He produced a catalog to sell scientific and academic books. Franklin also receives credit for offering the first mail-order guarantee: “Those persons who live remote, by sending their orders and money to B. Franklin may depend on the same justice as if present.” In 1845 Tiffany published its first mail order catalog, the Blue Book.
