History
Montgomery Ward was founded by Aaron Montgomery Ward and Charles R. Thorne in 1872. Their idea was to develop an organization the could sell merchandise of nearly every sort, directly to the customer. Ward's retail target was the rural small farmer west of the Mississippi River. Distances were great and means of travel were crude. Ward's mail order catalogs brought a wide selection of merchandise to even the most remote farm homes. Its policy of "Satisfaction Guaranteed or Your Money Back," was unique at the time. Ward was recognized as supply house for the National Grange. The company also exported merchandise abroad to missionaries, miners, and travelers.
In the 1920s, Ward's expanded into the retail field. By 1929 there were more than 500 stores spanning the country. The store expansion program was still in full swing in October 1929, when the stock market crashed. As consumers felt the pinch of the Depression, the company experienced a first quarter loss of more than two million dollars in 1930. Mail order volume fell off sharply and retail sales also declined. Twenty-four stores closed in 1930 and eighteen in 1931.
The directors asked Sewell Avery, president of United States Gypsum, to take over management of Montgomery Ward in 1931 because Avery would not enforce a closed union shop. In 1955 there was a bitter proxy fight between Louis Wolfson and Sewell Avery. Although Avery won the fight, he resigned as chairman of the board.
During the 1950s and 1960s, Ward's renovated old stores and moved into suburban shopping centers. In 1968 Montgomery Ward and Container Corporation of America merged. The new holding company was called Marcor, Inc. In 1976 Marcor stockholders approved the merger of Marcor into Mobil Corporation, resulting in Montgomery Ward and Container Corporation of America becoming wholly owned subsidiaries of Mobil Corporation. The catalog was discontinued in 1985, and in 1988 senior management led a drive for a leveraged buy out and Montgomery Ward became a privately held company.
